“STRESSED OUT”

 “Keeping it together under pressure”

 “Watch a funny movie with a friend”

 “Give yourself a treat”

“Go outside and do something active”

“TALK ABOUT IT”

“Take a bath”

“Do something about what’s causing you the stress. Divide into can’t fix (leave alone), can fix. Deal to one thing at a time”

That are the stress solutions I am finding in the little booklet called “Stressed out”.

“Choose whichever stress solutions you think are the most important for you at the moment.” That’s what it also says in the booklet.

“TALK ABOUT IT” is for me the most important stress solution at any moment.

In the booklet I am also reading that talking helps me  to feel better, helps me to feel less confused, helps me to feel less alone and that there are lots of people  who can help me.

I am pointed to my Family/Whanau, the School Counsellor, to Lifeline, to Youthline (Samaritans), to Citizens Advice Bureau, to a Church Worker, to a School Teacher, to Local Marae/Iwi Organisation and Friends.

Can I please point you to my friend, the Lord Jesus Christ?

I talk about everything with the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray to the Lord Jesus Christ.
