Have you ever felt sick to your stomach during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you ended up with a terrible headache?

What is stress?

Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid --- which can give you a stomachache or a headache.

What causes stress?

Plenty of things can cause stress in a child's life.___17.____Good or normal stress might show up when you're called on in class or when you have to give a report.

 Facts About Goal Setting

　　These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:

　　Specific, realistic goals work best. ___21_____ "I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cans, and magazines" is a much more doable goal than "I'm going to do more for the environment." And that makes it easier to stick with.

　　_____22_____ It will probably take a couple of months before any changes — like getting up half an hour early to exercise — become a routine part of your life. That's because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you're doing is part of your regular routine.

　　_____23______ Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for. Writing it down works too. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to make it happen.

　　_____24_______ The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself — you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and motivated if you're doing something out of obligation to another person.

　　Roadblocks don't mean failure. Slip-ups are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal. But that's OK — it's normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change. So remember that everyone slips up and don't beat yourself up about it. ___25____

A. Repeating a goal makes it stick.

B. Pleasing other people doesn't work.

C. You should make a change in your life.

D. Just remind yourself to get back on track.

E. Set a goal and come up with steps to reach it.

F. t takes time for a change to become an established habit.

G. When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set proper goals.
