Shad has been finding himself unable to focus lately. Sometimes, he feels a knot in his stomach accompanied by nausea. As a result, he rarely has an appetite and is eating less than he should. These symptoms coincided with Shad being selected for the lead role in the school play, which now adds a new responsibility to an already
challenging academic schedule and part-time job.
What might be an effective strategy for Shad to manage this stress?
O Add daily workouts to his schedule, at least 20 minutes each, to increase his energy and reboot his focus on his own health,
O Assess the amount of time needed to fulfill all his responsibilities and create a schedule to prioritize and organize commitments.
Change his options for meals and select more appealing "comfort" foods that will make him enjoy eating again and increase his appetite.
O Quit the school play so that he can return to a schedule that is more manageable and will cause him less stress and anxiety
