context: How to have a good relationship with your teacher
Greet your teacher with a smile.
Your teacher likely arrives to work every day very early, perhaps even before the sun is shining. Every day, they have to work with dozens and sometimes even hundreds of different students, many of whom have bad attitudes.

OPTIONS:
- Don't view teachers as anybody's friends; show respect for their time and expertise. Be patient and kind to other students.
- An easy habit to break, but one you can learn to avoid, is to greet your teacher at least once or twice a day. Say hello when they come to class, and by greeting them, you reinforce this habit.
- Greeting your teacher with a smile and a warm remark every morning is a great way to sow seeds of positivity in your relationship and to improve their day. Smile and say " good morning " or " good afternoon " to your teacher.
- Be nice to your teacher and smile, and chat as much as you can, even when they aren't there. In addition, remember that while you are considered friendly, you are also considered kind to other students and teachers.

context: How to turn bad stress into good stress
Make a list of your stressors.
Spend a little time thinking about what's going on in your life. Use this as an opportunity to identify all of the stressors in your life.

OPTIONS:
- Write them all down and put them into a box. Write down each one in a list, within range of severity, as a fixation and counter-fixation.
- After you have a list of stressors, write them down. Maybe you feel stressed because of a loss of a loved one, but the person is long gone, so you feel trapped and your boss wants to go get coffee instead.
- Ultimately, without devoting time to identifying stressors, you probably won't be able to put your finger on exactly what's bothering you. Take some time to think about what's stressing you out and write them on a piece of paper.
- Now that you've identified them and know what they are, try to put everything into perspective. See if you have any stressors on a day-to-day basis, if they are on a first-come, first-served basis, or if the conflicts have gotten bad before.
