Introduction
You can’t always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes
on inside.
- Wayne Dyer
We all experience stress in our lives. In fact, the vast majority of health problems are
caused or influenced by stress, it is then important to understand how stress affects your body
and learn effective stress management techniques to make stress work for you rather than
against you.
Many of us struggle with stress, especially in the youth today–at school and in our
personal life. Like any problem, stress requires a strategic approach to conquer, or at least
manage. Stress is real, but we always have a choice–we can let it consume us or we learn to
control it

1. Causes and Effects of Stress
