    A. To be familiar with the techniques of managing stress


    B. To help them relieve stress at their own pace
    C. Introduce students to meditation as an effective, widely practiced activity that can

    discussion and the activity.

    C. Activity Proper

    Instructions:

    Warm up (Optional: take heart rate and note it)

    1. Begin by sitting comfortably, balanced, and relaxed (if seated in a chair,


    feet on the ground). Breathe easy and from the abdomen/”belly breathing” (not
    chest breathing).

    2. Practice a few deep breaths with the group.

    3. Rotate the head in easy, slow circles; change direction and rotate in slow,
    easy circles.

    4. Look up; tilt your head way back. Look down; put your chin on your chest.

    5. Drop your arms and hands to the side and shake them gently and easily.

    6. Raise your feet off the floor and gently and easily shake the knees.

    7. Straighten your spine while meditating.

    Practice (repeat two times)

    8. This is done SILENTLY.


    9. When teacher says, “Close your eyes”, close your eyes. [Once your eyes
    are closed, simply relax your mind and do not make an effort to think about
    anything; slowly your mind will clear and relax] When teacher says, “Open your
    eyes”, open your eyes.

    10. Now, sit straight up, relaxed, and balanced.

    11. “Close your eyes” (two minutes elapse)

    12. “Open your eyes”

    13. Check in with students: how was that? (Students may give thumbs up or
    thumbs down.) Now everyone practice it again.

    14. Repeat exercise: “Close your eyes”…two minutes elapse… “Open your
    eyes” (Optional: take heart rate and compare to heart rate before meditation)

    15. Check in with students

    Extension: Teacher may follow-up by having students practice meditation at


    other times during class. Encourage students to practice meditation on their own
    to develop the habit of using meditation for stress reduction and overall health.
    Have students teach this method to a friend or family member.

    D. Processing Questions:

    1. Is it really important to manage our stress?

    2. What techniques or strategies are much effective in managing stress?

    III. SYNTHESIS: LECTURE

    Stress is the “psychological, physiological and behavioural response by an individual when


    they perceive a lack of equilibrium between the demands placed upon them and their ability to
    meet those demands, which, over a period of time, leads to ill-health” (Palmer, 1989).

    Stress is a natural part of every young person’s life. Stress is any change, internal or external,
    positive or negative, to which a young person must adapt; simply, “stress is anything that
    causes physical and/or mental wear and tear on the body and mind” (Joyce V. Fetro, Personal
    & Social Skills, 2000).

    Students’ stress is usually related to everyday experiences, worries and challenges at school,
    home, in the community and within their peer group. For example, young people may
    experience stress resulting from bullying, name calling, social isolation, not getting what they
    want, body image, academic difficulties, and unsafe neighborhoods. While each student will
    respond to and resolve stress differently, the impact of ongoing and/or unresolved stress can
    lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability, poor concentration, aggression, physical
    illness, fatigue, sleep disturbance and poor coping skills such as tobacco, drug and/or alcohol
    use.

    Therefore, young people, like adults, can benefit from learning and practicing stress
    management skills. Students who develop stress reduction skills learn how to feel and cope
    better without hurting themselves or others. Identifying and acknowledging the causes of stress
    and expressing feelings about them are usually the most effective tools students have to reduce
    stress, in addition to learning practical stress reduction skills.

    TECHNIQUES THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS MANAGE STRESS

     Eat healthy meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables


     Maintain daily routine and schedule
     Exercise regularly
     Avoid caffeine (can increase feelings of anxiety and agitation)
     Do things you enjoy (for example: art, listening to music, being outdoors, dancing,
    writing poetry, reading, etc.)
     Get good amounts of rest and sleep
     Avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs
     State feelings in a clear way (for example: “I feel angry when you yell at me.”)
     Decrease negative self talk (for example: transform “My grades will never get any
    better.” to “I may not be doing to well now, but my grades can improve if I get extra help
    and I do all my homework.”)
     Be with friends who help you cope in a positive way
     Learn relaxation techniques (such as: deep breathing, muscle relaxation, meditation)
     Talk to caring adults
     Humor/laughter

    Meditate – to think calm thoughts in order to relax or have a spiritual activity.

    Meditation – the word was adopted in late nineteenth century to refer to various
    spiritual practices from Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions (may show
    students Asian continent on a map or globe to identify where Eastern religions/practices
    originated) and is usually defined as one of the following:

    • A state that is experienced when the mind is free of all thoughts; when the mind is
    quiet

    • Focusing the mind on a single object (such as one’s breath or a mantra/chant)

    • An “opening up” to the divine or to a “higher power”

    • Focused thought on a topic (such as thinking about kindness)
