1. Have you ever experienced stress and how well do you manage it?
Yes, I’ve experienced alot stressful situations before just like upcoming test, heavy schedule, lack of

overthinking. We all know that we are in the midst of pandemic and also we do not know when this
pandemic will end. These factors affect the performance and health of a person physically and mentally

pandemic stays for too long, your mind will became dried or tired because of thinking which I think is not
healthy.

friends, It is very effective because it lessen the problems running through your mind, you also might forgot
the thing that you are stress about but it’s no good, you’ll have to face it in order to surpass it. The next
methods that I use to cope up with stress is to bond with pets, or if you don’t have any pets do what makes
