    HOW TO

    MANAGE STRESS
    What is Stress?
    • Stress is defined as a reaction of the mind and
    body to a stimulus that disturbs the well-being,
    state of calm or equilibrium of a person.
    What is Stress?
    • The teenage years are ripe with new experiences, opportunities and
    challenges. Also during this time, teenagers’ brains are changing, and
    they want more independence and autonomy. During this time, there
    are also many stressors. For example, teenagers might worry about
    starting tertiary school, looking a particular way, fitting in with friends,
    final examinations/schoolwork. Now more than ever, teenagers have
    even more worries with political affairs, the pandemic, not to mention
    social media.
    Symptoms of Stress
    Symptoms can include:
    • Emotional changes: Teens might appear agitated, anxious, and/or depressed.
    Pay attention to changes in behavior.
    • Physical changes: Teens under stress are likely to get sick more often and
    complain of headaches, stomachaches, and other aches and pains.
    • Behavioral changes: Changes in eating or sleeping habits, and avoidance of
    normal daily activities.
    • Cognitive changes: You might notice decreased concentration, forgetfulness,
    and/or the appearance of carelessness.
    What triggers my Stress?
    • Academic Stress
    - Worrying about meeting academic demands, pleasing teachers and
    parents, and keeping up with my classmates. Sometimes feeling
    overwhelmed by the amount of work.

    • Social Stress
    - In an effort to establish and maintain friendships and worrying about
    what others think of me which can engage in behavior outside of my
    comfort zones to appease my peers.
    What triggers my Stress?
    • Significant Life Changes
    - Starting a new school and changes in every of my age. These big
    changes is overwhelming and can be confusing for me sometimes.

    • Negative Thoughts or Feelings about Myself


    - Feeling detached or estranged from others, negative beliefs about
    oneself, others, or the world (e.g. "What if I don't have a bright future"), and
    sudden distorted sense of who is to blame in an event where I was involved.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    All teens are different and stress can be triggered by a number of
    factors. The best way to understand how your teen processes stress
    and where the stress stems from is to engage in open and honest
    communication about stress. It’s important for parents to normalize
    the concept of stress and empower teens to utilize adaptive coping
    strategies.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Practice Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a mental state that is
    achieved by being fully in the present. While in the present, one
    can acknowledge and accept their thoughts, feelings, and physical
    sensations. Overall, it’s a therapeutic technique that’s at the
    beginning stages for adolescents. There’s mindfulness meditation,
    training, and other exercises to improve the ability to get to this
    mental state.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Communication is key. The same can be said for a teen stressing
    about any number of things. Talk it out with them! Talking about
    stressful situations can help your teen put them into perspective.
    Communication might just be what they need to start feeling better
    about their current stress level.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Get enough sleep and have a good sleep routine. Sleep is an
    essential part of positive emotional and physical wellbeing. For
    teenagers, 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night is ideal. Their brains are
    still developing, so help ensure they’re getting the rest they need.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Exercise and eat regularly. Exercise is an essential stress reliever
    for any age.

    • Rehearse and practice situations which cause stress. One example


    is taking a speech class if talking in front of a class makes you
    anxious.
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Learn practical coping skills. For example, break a large task into
    smaller, more attainable tasks.

    • Decrease negative self-talk: challenge negative thoughts - with


    alternative, neutral, or positive thoughts (e.g. "I may feel hopeless
    now, but my life will probably get better if I work at it and get
    some help.”)
    How can I Cope with my Stress and
    Why is it Important
    Ways to Cope with Stress:
    • Learn to feel good about doing a competent or "good enough” job
    rather than demanding perfection from yourself and others.

    • Take a break from stressful situations. Activities like listening to


    music, talking to a friend, drawing, writing, or spending time with
    a pet can reduce stress.
