Have you ever felt stressed? 【小题1】 Since stress is a part of life, it is essential to learn how to deal with it. Here are some strategies for dealing with stress and pressure.

Most of the time, stress is a result of feeling overwhelmed. 【小题2】 For example, you could keep a daily organizer and plan your activities. Focus on things that are really important. Do not get caught up in minor issues that only create additional work for you. Break tasks down into manageable bits and tackle them one by one or step by step. Proper planning also helps you avoid the stress of doing things at the eleventh hour.

【小题3】 Doing things that you like such as listening to music, taking a walk, or reading a book can take your mind off things that bother you. Even doing nothing at all can be beneficial. After a short break, you will feel refreshed and more able to tackle a problem or a piece of work.

Finally, do not set such high standards for yourself and others that it leads to dissatisfaction and pressure.

Making art can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood. But you don't have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. 【小题1】. And the more you do it, the better. Here are the things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit.

We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists. 【小题2】. Everyone is capable of creative expression. In fact, there are no differences in health outcomes between those who identify as experienced artists and those who don't.

【小题3】. Start with what you enjoy-maybe something you've done before, maybe something you loved as a kid. But keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you. You can do that through many activities: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting. And don't feel like you have to stick to one thing. Do whatever you're in the mood for.

You can think about making art like any healthy habit, such as eating well or exercising. Just as you make time to work, exercise and hang out with family and friends, you should make time for your artistic attempts. Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders. In addition to carving out time, carve out a physical space in your home for art. 【小题4】. If space is an issue, put it all in a basket or a plastic container that's easily accessible.

The more you're able to make art a regular habit the more you’re likely to get this great reward: this wonderful thing that happens when you're in the zone. 【小题5】.We can feel that flow when filling in lines with color, inking and when drawing pleasing backgrounds, such as jungle or garden scenes.

In some countries, many families are choosing camping as an affordable way to vacation due to the cost-of-living crisis (危机). 【小题1】 Here are several tips to help make your first camping trip a success.

For families, bringing comfort items like favorite books or toys can make the new environment more welcoming for kids. 【小题2】 Other necessaries like wet wipes (湿巾) are must-haves.

Camping is more than just setting up a tent. 【小题3】 Group camping trips can simplify things, especially when it comes to meals. Sharing meal responsibilities with other families not only reduces the load but also improves the shared experience. Choosing simple and easy-to-prepare foods helps too.

【小题4】 Activities like treasure hunts, campfire stories can turn camping into an adventure. Nature itself offers endless enjoyment, from bird watching to plant recognizing.

Safety lessons are also important, like staying within campsites and recognizing dangerous plants.

All in all, camping is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with family. 【小题5】
