                  Ans.  Following are the steps to manage stress:
                       Step 1:  Know about Yourself that You are Stressed: In this step look for the signs and symptoms of stress in yourself.

                             causes of your stress. It can be due to exam pressure, fighting with somebody close, the illness of a person close to
                             you, not being selected for some competition etc.

                             important  tools  for  managing  your  stress.  It  can  be  learning  good  time  management  techniques,  relaxing  by
                             spending quality time with the people you love, going out for picnics on weekends, or relaxing mind and body with
                             exercise and yoga.
                    4.   How can healthy diet and positivity be a good technique to manage stress?
                   Ans.  ●   Healthy Diet: Eating healthy balanced food will reduce the negative impact of stress on your mind and body. Start your
                          day with a good breakfast, do not skip your meals, avoid eating junk food, and drink lots and lots of water. Keeping
                          these little things in mind will help your body function normally, and plays an important role in reducing stress.
                       ●  Positivity: Always look for something good in every move you take in life. Negative thoughts reduce good hormones
                          and cause depression and anxiety. It has also been proven scientifically that you should always smile no matter what
                          the situation is. Even a fake smile will help to reduce heart rate and blood pressure during stressful situations. For
                          example, instead of feeling upset over scoring less in exams or for not getting selected in an inter school event, try to
                          maintain a positive thought and work on the ways to score better next time.
