Teen Stress Relief Tips
1. Breathing exercises and muscle relaxation techniques can be valuable weapons in the battle against stress. Here’s a simple breathing exercise that can help induce feelings of well-being: breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of six, hold the air in your lungs for a count of six and then breathe out slowly through your mouth for a count of six.
2. Repeating this two or three times helps to oxygenate your blood and when this oxygenated blood reaches the brain, it can trigger the release of chemicals that help to relax you – no drugs required!
3. You can also try lying in a darkened room with relaxing music playing and progressively contract and relax the muscles in your body. Start with your toes and gradually work your way upwards to the top of your head. It helps if you think of a place where you felt particularly happy, thus inducing a positive frame of mind.
4. As a teenager, you will often feel that no-one understands what you are going through, and that you are all alone in the world. The fact is that everyone was a teenager once. This is bad news for your sense of uniqueness, but good news in that you may find parents, teachers or other adults more sympathetic than you might expect. If you don’t want to talk to an adult, try an older teenage friend or relative.
5. For many teens, a major cause of stress is the pressure to be one of the cool kids. This, ironically, is usually achieved by sublimating your own identity and copying the dress, behavior and musical tastes of your peer group, with all the attendant fears of making a faux pas. The realization that true happiness comes from being yourself and not caring what other people think of you comes too late for some teens. Don’t be one of them. Make note of these teenage stress management relief tips.

Great advice. I work doing volunteer tutoring with youth and teens and it’s amazing how much stress they find themselves under these days. Those breathing exercises can be key to helping them in tests. Doing a little breathing exercise before a test is a good way of getting some of the anxiety under control.
I think these points would make a great opportunity for a spa to market a special day for teens under stress.
