1. Time management 
The fear of running out of time triggers stress. Managing time will help you to stay calm and relaxed. Make a time table for your daily studies and tasks. The important thing to remember while making a work schedule is to keep it real and simple. Set priorities and keep a reminder for all the deadlines. Make sure your work schedule includes eight hours of sleep, frequent breaks during study time and time to relax.
2. Exercise
Working-out will not only keep your body healthy but will help you to stay active and focused. You can go for walking or work out in the gym. You body produces endorphin when you exercise and this makes you feel good. Doing sports or practicing yoga will also help. Doing yoga will relax your body and calm your mind.
3. Talk it out
According to studies, talking to your friend just once a week can decrease the stress levels and makes you happy. If you have just joined a new school or college and do not have a friend, talk to the counselor or the therapist offered by the school/college. Talk to them about the problems you face or whenever you feel like talking to someone. This will help in reducing the stress.
4. Meditate
It may seem boring but it will help to calm your mind. You will not need anything to do meditation. Just sit quietly for five to ten minutes daily focusing on your breathing. This technique will relax you and reduce stress levels.
5. Take rest
Give your body and mind some rest. While it is important to study hard to succeed, your body needs rest to work efficiently the next day. So, have a good night’s sleep and take breaks frequently during your study time. Go to bed if you are sleepy and get sufficient sleep. Set a timetable for your studies and your free time. This will help you to be more relaxed.

I got a call from an unknown number which I usually do not answer but somehow my intuitive mind kept telling to answer this call and I did. A Girl - Ma’m I got your number from someone and he mentioned you can help me. Me - Pls tell me more about you. Girl - Ma’m I’m studying in final year and I’m good at Studies and have scored brilliant marks in last 2 years but now everything is turning upside down in my life, I can’t concentrate, the love of my life has left me abandoned. It breaks my heart when teenagers use such strong words (abandon). But then   That is how we are conditioned in the society we live in. Me - I asked her to meet and we discussed about her life and loss of love that she feels. I gave her two empty glasses and asked her to fill any of them with water.
