Sometimes, it is hard to find time to dedicate to yourself, but if you can set aside just five minutes each day for yourself, you will start to feel happier. You might set aside five minutes before school, after school, or before you go to bed. During this five minutes, turn off your electronics, as they can add to the stress and drama.
