Session 1: Stress Management

What is Stress? g
Stress can be defined as our emotional, mental, physical
and social reaction to any perceived demands or threats.
These demands or threats are called stressors. Stressors
are the reason for stress.

For example,
• you are too close to the exams but feel unprepared.

• you are experiencing a loss of someone close in the

family.

• you are worried about what people would think of you

if you don’t dress well or cannot speak confidently.

Stress Management

Managing stress is about making a plan to be able to

cope effectively with daily pressures. The ultimate goal
is to strike a balance between life, work, relationships,
relaxation, and fun. By doing this, you are able to deal
with daily stress triggers and meet these challenges head-
on.
Shikha Shokeen

Always keep in mind the ABC of stress management

A: Adversity or the stressful event

B: Beliefs or the way you respond to the event

C: Consequences or actions and outcomes of the event

Management Techniques

Here are a few simple stress management techniques.

• Time management: Proper time management is one of

the most effective stress-relieving techniques.

• Physical exercise and fresh air: A healthy lifestyle is

essential for students. Stress is generally lower in people
who maintain a healthy routine. Doing yoga, meditation
and deep breathing exercises help in proper blood
circulation and relaxes the body. Even taking a walk or
playing in the park will help you get a lot of fresh
oxygen, which will help you become more active.
• Healthy diet: Having a healthy diet will also help you
reduce stress. Eating a balanced diet, such as Dal, Roti,
vegetables and fruits will give you the strength to do
your daily work efficiently.

Shikha Shokeen

• Positivity: Focussing on negative aspects of life will

add more stress. Instead, learn to look at the good things
and stay positive. For example, instead of feeling upset
over a scoring less in a test, try to maintain a positive
attitude and look at ways to improve the next time.

• Sleep: We should get a good night’s sleep for at least 7

hours so that your brain and body gets recharged to
function better the next day.

• Holidays with family and friends: Going to a relative’s

place, such as your grandparents’ house or a new place
during your summer vacations can help you break from
the normal routine and come back afresh.

 Shikha Shokeen

What is self-awareness in your own words?

Self-awareness is the ability to recognize you are separate
from other people, while also assessing your own thoughts,
feelings, and beliefs. To be self-aware means you can use
your senses and experiences to understand your emotions
and help you make future choices.

What are the two kinds of self-awareness?

The two kinds of self-awareness are private self-awareness and
public self-awareness. Private self-awareness is a moment of
realization that only involves yourself. This could look like

from a date. Public self-awareness is the ability to understand

how others perceive you and usually follows social norms.
Ensuring you practice your- valedictorian speech so you don't

• Understand your emotions: Observe your behaviour
and note the things you need to work on. You can then
work on the things you need to improve.

in your thinking.

• Practise: Do meditation and yoga to keep yourself

calm.

Session 3: Self-motivation

Self-motivation is simply the force within you that drives

you to do things. Self-motivation is what pushes us to
achieve our goals, feel happy and improve our quality of
life. In other words, it is our ability to do the things that
need to be done without someone or something
influencing us.

Qualities of Self-motivated People

2. Are focussed
3. Know what is important
4. Are dedicated to fulfill their dreams

Building Self-motivation

● Find out your strengths

● Set and focus on your goals
● Develop a plan
● to achieve your goals
● Stay loyal to your goals

Session 4: Self-regulation — Goal Setting

 Shikha Shokeen
Goals : They are a set of dreams with a deadline
to get them, for example, saving pocket money to buy a
favourite mobile phone by a particular date.

Goal setting : It is all about finding and listing your goals

and then planning on how to achieve them.

How to Set Goals?

We can use SMART method to set goals. SMART stands

for:

• Specific : A specific and clear goal answers six

questions. Who is involved in the goal? What do I want
to do? Where do I start? When do I start and finish?
Which means do I use? Why am I doing this?
Not a specific goal: “I would learn to speak English.”

Specific goal: “I would learn to speak English fluently by

joining coaching classes after my
school everyday, and in six months I will take part in the
inter-school debate competition.”

Shikha Shokeen

Measureable : A measureable goal answers the questions

“How much?”, “How many?” and “How do I know that I
have achieved results?”

Not measurable goal: “I want to be rich.”

Measurable goal: “I want to have 5 times more money
than what I have today in my hand at the
end of this year.”

Achievable : Breaking down big goals into smaller parts

will make the goal achievable. Bigger Goal: “I want to
become a teacher in my school.”

Realistic : A realistic goal would be something that we

want to achieve and can work towards.

Example of unrealistic goal: “I will read my entire year’s

syllabus in one day and get good
marks.”

Shikha Shokeen

Realistic goal: “I spend 3 hours every day of the year

after school to revise my subjects to get
good marks in the exams.”

• Time bound : A SMART goal should have a timeframe

by when the goal needs to be achieved.
This encourages us to take actions to completely fulfill
the goals.

Not a time bound goal: “I want to lose 10 kg someday.”

Time bound goal: “I want to lose 10kg in the next 6

months.”
