You may wonder whether stress (焦虑) is a serious matter. The answer is “Yes”. You should realize that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age.

Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance (平衡) to your life:

● Be positive

One way to cancel out (消除) stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future.

● Learn to relax

Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a private place and being silent for a moment.

● Take up a hobby

Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind.

● Take care of your body

Stress is your body's enemy. Taking exercise, eating healthily and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you.

● Laugh

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often cheer you up when you are low.
