HOW TO RELIEVE
STRESS PAULO’S WAY
What Is stress?

 To me stress is many things. Stress

can be caused by a lot, like school,
friends, family, sports, teachers etc.
Stress is also more than just
emotions. Stress often happens when
you have too much of something. Like
adults when they have too much bills
and debt to pay, they start to stress
and as what Filipinos say grow white
hairs, which is a sign of stress. There
are more things that cause stress and
ways how stress happens. But I’m
going to tell you things people and I
do to relieve stress

 Martial Arts

 Martial arts is another great way of

relieving your stress. You can have a
motivation of your opponent as the
stress you want to get rid of and at
the same time you feel the stress go
away you r opponent goes away.
 boxing
Some people box to
relief stress. You can
use the technique I
said about boxing
and you can also use
the breathing
techniques.
Breathing out the
stress and breathing

perspective I think
that a lot of boxers
use boxing to clear
they’re mind from
many things.

feels relaxing and
your stress going
away. Also your
mind is getting a
break, nothings in
your mind besides
enjoying the water.
THINGS IN GENERAL
LIKE….

TIME FOR
FRIENDS/FAMILY GOING AWAY
YOURSELF
FAMILY/FRIENDS

Family an friends can

help you relieve stress a
lot. Just having the
feeling of them being
around you takes the
stress away from you.
When you’re with family
and friends don’t worry
about anything else but
them, because just a
little worry will get you
very stressful. Just like
when you worry about a
homework assignment
to do , while you’re with
family and friends, you
start to put your main
focus on that and start
to put a lot of stress in
you mentally.
GOING AWAY

How does going Just like the southwest

 Away from
everything

 Taking a vacation

 Gives you time to

think and do things
for yourself
TIME FOR YOURSELF
Time for yourself
is one of the best
and inexpensive
things you can
do. So what do I
mean by time for
yourself? Easy!
Don’t worry
about anything,
clear your mind,
act like nothings
important. Also
having
prioritizing helps
a lot in having
time for yourself.
Try these things out!

 I do these things to help me out

with stress.
 Don’t push yourself to hard.
 Enjoy yourself ,life , and the
people around you.
 Also remember stress can be a
disease that spreads around.
