You have to think about what is causing you to become stressed and if it is possible to avoid these things. If you feel stressed because it seems that people are always taking up your private time, you need to learn to say "No" once in a while.________If your work stress is the cause of your illness and if you are experiencing problems with your heart,the doctor may need to send you for a stress test to determine whether or not there is a serious problem developing.

Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

66He burst into tears and said sadly, "I'm useless and if this is what I have learned to
paint, I'm not worth teaching."
The master smiled and suggested, "My son, I will prove that you are a great artist." The master told him, "Just paint the same painting once again and give it to me."
Then they went to the same street the next morning and displayed the same painting. The master took out another board which read — "Gentleman, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do
me a favor. 67"The master and the young painter went back home.
