Prepare for morning the night before. Organize your clothes and what
you need for school.

Eat right. Sleep right. Get enough sleep and avoid the junk food.
|
|
| |
3.
Write down things you need to remember.
|
|

4.
Don't procrastinate. Putting things off until the last minute creates
panic.
|
|
| |
5.
Make good choices. Do nothing, which, after being done, leads you to a
lie.

|
| |
6.
Think positive thoughts. For every one thing that goes wrong, there are
probably 10 or 50 or 100 blessings. Count 'em!

prevent problems later.

worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.

10.
Create order out of chaos. Organize your home and workspace so that you
always know exactly where things are. Put things away where they belong
and you won't have to go through the stress of losing things.

Take deep breaths. Deep, slow breaths release muscle tension.
|
|
| |
12.
Write it out or talk it out. Keep a journal. Writing your thoughts and

clear your mind of confusion so you can concentrate on problem-solving.
