Holidays with Family and Friends
Going out on holidays gives you a break from your daily routine. It gives you
an opportunity to spend time with your family and friends. This will work
as a wonderful medicine for de-stressing yourself, thus lowering the risk of
heart attack.
How can Students Manage Stress?
Following are some of the practices to manage stress:
• Learning Time Management Skills: This will help a student to manage his time well. Always design a time table
for work allocated. Make short term and long-term goals.
• Do Physical Exercise to Keep Your Mind and Body Fit: No matter how busy you are still keep some time in the
evening to play with your friends or involve yourself in some physical activity like badminton, football, aerobics,
etc.
• Eat Healthy Food: Always carry a healthy tiffin to school. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, avoid having junk
food, and drink lots of water.
• Do Yoga and Meditation Sometimes: This will help you relax your mind and body. Also, your concentration
level will improve with meditation.
• Positive Thinking: No matter what problems you face in life just always remember to ignore life’s less pleasant
things. Try to find good in every situation. It will have a big impact on your physical and mental health.
• Spend some Quality Time with Your Family and Friends: You will experience less loneliness and so will help
you cope up with stress. Being physically present with loved ones creates a strong emotional support to face all
the challenges of life.
Working Independently
Sometimes you work in a group and sometimes you get a chance to work all alone on a project assigned. So
depending on the situations, your inner qualities need to be polished and used to the best of your capabilities.
Working independently is the ability of a person to work with full efficiency on assigned tasks without any interference
or supervision. Every person is blessed with some ability that gives them the power to exist independently.
Some can sing well, others are good at sports, some are good in logic and mathematics, and some may become
good actors. Everyone is special in their own ways.
To realise your own abilities it is important to work independently. Try to do the assigned task independently
by utilising all your abilities and work with your maximum productivity to accomplish the given task with great
success. Working independently means:
• You take ownership of the work.
• You become self-aware of your strength and weaknesses.
