When I was at school, I had to learn how to have a well-balanced life in order to reduce stress and anxiety. Below are some of the typical things I did.
Firstly, I managed my time properly. I started to plan my schedule, made a weekly work list and gave priority to some of my work. This helped me concentrate my efforts on the most important tasks.
In addition, I communicated with my family, friends, and teachers about my busy schedule and problems, so they would offer me additional support. I also took breaks appropriately because they helped me keep away from stress and anxiety, and gave my brain a rest and improved my mood.
Finally, I looked after my physical health. I got at least eight hours of sleep a day. I played football with my classmates twice a week and went for a walk with my grandparents early every morning. Besides, I also tried to follow a healthy diet. I ate a lot of fruit and vegetables. I ate little fattening foods and avoided junk foods like chips, cookies, pizza, etc.
