Five minutes before the bus comes, you can't find your left shoe, your agenda, and you haven't eaten breakfast yet. Now that's rushed! Have you ever felt like that? I sure have. These days just make you want to scream! I even have wished they would just go away. In the next few paragraphs, I will tell you how to reduce your stress level!
After a hard day at school, you just want to go home and relax. At home, you realize that you have soccer pratice in an hour, and you have an hour's worth of homework to do. OH NO!!! You feel very rushed and your whole week is like this because of meetings, sports and clubs.
Some things you could do to help:
á Limit your plans to one or two events a week.
á Try to do as much homework as you can in class
á Try to not forget homework. Going back and getting them takes up time.
Merissa had an easy day. She had breezed through her classwork and had joined a school group. After choir, Merissa quickly packed her bookbag and left.
Once at home, she watched a bit of T.V., thinking she had little homework. When it became 6:30, she started her homework. When she looked in her agenda, her teacher had written for her to do a spelling page. She had forgotten to take her spelling book home!
Oh no! She called her friend to get the spelling book. By the time she got the book and started it was 8:00 and she was late for bed and sleepy in the morning.
Things you can do for help:
- Check your agenda before you leave school.
- Try to do homework earlier so if you dont have something, you can go get it.
If you follow these rules every day, you can start to become stress free!
