[00:00.00]That's really good to hear.

[00:03.12]I've been feeling terribly stressed and tense

[00:05.98]about my exams.

[00:07.77]I seem to have lost my appetite lately.

[00:10.92]I realised how stressed I was when my skin

[00:13.79]broke out and I started getting headaches

[00:16.24]every day!

[00:18.41]So has running helped you deal with it?

[00:22.34]Yes,it's definitely helped.I'm feeling much

[00:25.56]more laid-back and relaxed.

[00:28.04]I've also been planning my studying very

[00:30.53]carefully and making sure I have time to

[00:33.66]enjoy myself.

[00:35.67]Breathing exercises have also helped

[00:38.51]and the headaches have almost disappeared.

[00:41.43]That's great.Come on,I'll race you to the end!

[00:47.02]STRESS!

[00:48.59]Depression,heart attacks,irritability,

[00:51.90]sleeplessness,and headaches:these are but a few

[00:54.92]of the symptoms and results of stress.

[00:57.88]Clearly stress is not good for you,

[01:00.71]but how do you deal with it

[01:02.26]so that it doesn't end up

[01:03.74]controlling and ruining your life?

[01:06.40]Firstly,you need to recognise

[01:08.37]if you are stressed

[01:10.10]and decide to do something about it.

[01:12.51]Many people use their stressful lifestyles

[01:15.70]as an excuse,"I'm sorry,I can't make it.

[01:19.10]I'm just so exhausted."

[01:21.17]Some people even enjoy

[01:22.87]complaining about how stressed they are!

[01:25.99]Secondly,you need to put your

[01:27.99]stress-reducing plan in action.
