If you are feeling tired and stressed because you have too much going on，like lots of after-school activities，you might feel better if you give something up，even if it's just for a term or so．Sometimes lots of activities-even if they're all fun---can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time．On the other hand，if problems at home are troubling you，in fact some after-school activities may help you relax and feel better．
There are also relaxing exercises that you can use to keep stress away．The easiest one is to breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose，and then exhale slowly through your mouth．Do this two to four times．
You can do breathing exercise anytime．You can even do breathing exercise in class if you're nervous before a test．
The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life．That means making good decisions about how to spend your time．If you're always busy with schoolwork and have no time to play，you can get stressed．Make sure you keep yourself in mind：Sleep，Exercise，Leisure （ something fun），and Food．If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food，and if you exercise and leave time for fun，you'll probably be less stressed out!
