Adjusting to Stress

After a good 2 months of living down here in Columbia, I have found myself put in stressful situations, mostly from home and school work. I've been stressing about my dad getting better since i've gotten here, as the worst part of his sickness was taking place once i left. I've tried to find ways to avoid stressing and making myself more upset by being busy (going to the gym, homework, friends, etc). I try to stay positive. Also, i try to avoid stressing about my school work by managing my time well, and spreading out all the tasks i have to do. It made the studying or project seem less difficult and tedious. As i approach more stresses, i will try to stay positive with these tricks, and hopefully develop new ones.
