Now read the following article and express your personal opinion in 80-100 words..

If someone asks, "How are you?" do you always say, "Fine," but really want to say, "Busy, Unhappy,
or Stressed out?" Everyone wants to be happy, but with our busy lives, full of study, work, family,
home, and friends, it's hard not to be stressed out. In this article, I will share with you my top three
tips for staying stress-free.

Sleep: Nature's Best Medicine

The first ingredient in a stress-free life is to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. The average
person gets only between six and seven, and that's just not enough. Scientific studies show that
without at least eight hours of sleep a night, people cannot concentrate for long periods of time.
This is a big cause of stress.

Working Out, or Just Working?

Exercise is another key pan of lowering your stress. Whether you go to a gym, run around your
neighborhood, or just take a walk in the park, doctors agree that people should exercise at least
three times a week, for at least 20 minutes each time. After a few weeks, you'll feel a huge
difference!

Good-bye Coffee, Hello Water Drinking

Too much coffee, tea, and soda with caffeine is another cause of stress. For many, it's linked to not
having enough sleep. When some people wake up, they're still tired. The problem is, caffeine stays in
your body for at least five hours. The answer is simple: try to have only one coffee, tea, or soda each
day, and for the rest of the day, drink water. Lots of it. People should drink at least eight glasses per
day.

In the meantime, there are some tips that may help you keep stress at bay:

 Keep a positive attitude.


 Accept that there are events that you cannot control.
 Be assertive instead of aggressive. Assert your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of
becoming angry, defensive, or passive.
 Learn to manage your time more effectively.
 Set limits appropriately and say no to requests that would create excessive stress in
your life.
 Make time for hobbies and interests.
 Don't rely on alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviours to reduce stress. Drugs and
alcohol can stress your body even more.
 Seek out social support. Spend enough time with those you love.
