even a trained professional, can help you find solutions to your stress and put your problems into perspective.

• Take Control:
One problem-solving technique involves writing down the problem and coming up with as many possible solutions as you can.
Decide on the good and bad points of each one and select the best solution. Write down each step that you need to take as part of
the solution: what will be done, how will it be done, when will it be done, who is involved and where will it take place.

• Manage Your Time:

At times, we all feel overburdened by our 'To Do' list and this is a common cause of stress. Accept that you can not do everything at
once and start to prioritise and diarise your tasks.

If you are feeling unwell, do not feel that you have to carry on regardless. A short spell of rest will enable the body to recover faster.

Pass your words

Divide in two team: 1 and 2. The first person of each team will come up and memorize as many given words
as possible. Then each person of each team will go back their seats and whisper to the person next to them
the words they have remembered.

Whisper continuously until the last person of each group. The last person will write all the words they have
heard down a paper and give it to the presenter. Which group has more words will be the winner.
