Everyone deals with stress in their own ways. The way people deal with stress don’t always help others. I deal with stress by staying away from the thing that is causing me stress. For example, if it is school, I stop doing school work and do something that will get my mind off of it.

Usually, I find that reading a book is how I deal with stress. I don’t really read, but it helps me deal with stress. When I am stressed, I like to be alone. Reading helps me get my mind off the thing that is causing me stress.

Also, I find that when I’m reading, it relaxes me. Usually, I will read for like 30 minutes to clear my mind. If school is stressing me out, I will read a book for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes I will go back to doing school work.

If reading doesn’t help, I will take a break from doing anything for the rest of the day. I will stop doing anything for the rest of the day and take a mental health day for myself. I usually find reading something to be very helpful. Some things I do during mental health days is just to relax and watch a movie or tv show.
