Positive steps
 Take
time for yourself
Try to relax Listen to your favourite music Have a relaxing bath Take
a walk. Give yourself the time and the space to think about things, if
that's what you need to do.
Let
out your emotions
Don't be embarrassed to let out your emotions. If you feel like crying
or being angry - let people know how you feel. Bottling up your feelings
will create more problems but be careful not to let your anger turn into
aggression
Be
creative
Relieve stress by doing something creative. Turn negative feelings into
positive ones - scribble, draw, paint, put your ideas down on paper. Join
a group, take up a hobby and do something that interests you.
Get
active
Make time for your favourite sport or physical activity. It doesn't have
to be competitive. How about dancing? Turn your anxiety into positive
energy.
See
friends
Friends can give and receive support, encouragement and advice when you
need it or just have a good time. You could make new friends by joining
a group or getting involved in something new.
Talk
about it
Talk through your problems with someone you trust - a friend, teacher,
relative. Don't suffer in silence, talking can make you feel better.
