Explain stress in your own word.
Stress is an emotional or physical tension that comes from work or thinking. Stress can make you unhappy, angry, and at the same time frustrated.

Causes of stress

Work, thinking about something, when you don't have money to provide for your family, and when you face big challenges in life.

What is the best way to handle stress?

There are so many ways to handle stress.

1. rest very well after working: we should try everything possible to rest after we finish our daily life activities by getting enough rest.
   Because when you are resting your mind and soul will be calm, and your system will also be recovering the stress you put it through.

2. eat good food that contains all the six classes of food: when we eat nice food, our body will look fresh despite the stress we are putting it through. So another way to handle stress is eating very well.

3. we should always try to exercise once in a while: they said all work without play makes a Joe a dull boy, so we should always try to balance our work and create Time to play small like football, table tennis and a lot more.

4. lastly, whenever we are tired, we should ask our friends or family members to assist us because when our system is weak, and we are forcing it, we are causing serious harm to our bodies. So we should always call for help.

Have you been stressed up before? What caused it, and what did you do?

Yes, I have been stressed out before; it was when I got admission newly, that I went to do my registration, and the stress I passed through was too much. That day was my first time entering that university, and the environment was very large. I needed to change some of the remiter to receipt; I was just tired and, at the same time, stressed. And I don't even know some of the offices I need to go and submit my documents.

What I did
No one knows it all, so instead of walking up and down in the university, I decided to be asking questions, for directions. I asked one guy where my
department is located thanks to God that guy was also in. My department, so I directed me.

After I finished the registration, I went back home and ate very well, then took a rest.

Do you think stress can solve this life challenges?

No, not at all; stress can never solve this life challenge, but it will make life very difficult for you because it will cause a serious illness in your body. Sometimes stress can lead to death, so we should stop stressing ourselves.

What advise can you give to someone that is under stress right now.

The only advice I can give to someone who is under stress right now is to talk to the person and, at the same time, hear them out.

And I will ask him or her what the problem is, I hope everything is going well, and would you like to share the problem with me?

After I finish hearing from her, I will now advise her to always take enough rest and sleep, then assist her in any way I can.

Thanks for reading my post
