Before reducing stress, you should know that stress might be an important part of everyone's life. It's not extra, it belongs to all the people around the world. The only things we need to do is to balance it and our lives and work. It likes a number, if the level of stress stays at a proper range, it usually inspires us to be better and achieve our goals. On the other, if you feel really stressed, it definitely affects both your physical and mental health. In that case, you might be get sick, or less interested in anything. So, the hardest things is to control the amount of stress in our daily life. In fact, this is a skill needed us to learn and practice since we were born. Usually, as we get old, the things we cared a lot before become not that important. We begin to focus on our health and other few things. We don't care about others' opinions about ourselves. The thing must happened have happened, regrets don't work on us. We also don't have more opportunities to set some great goals. Everything becomes peaceful. So, I think that if you want to reduce stress, the best way is to experience more things. You can do it when you are young, you can experience a lot of things as many as an old man did. You can understand the world well like a philosopher. In that case, you are able to avoid being annoyed by stress.

I started running three years ago to look beautiful in my wedding dress. I began running with my husband. At first, running wasn’t that enjoyable, but little by little, as I ran longer and faster, I started to find it fun. Even though my wedding is over, I still run to manage my stress. When I run, I can focus on one thing and sweat, which makes me feel great. I highly recommend running! Don’t worry if you can’t run fast or for long distances—that doesn’t matter. How you feel is what really counts!

Are "in a distance" and "at a distance " synonyns? Please give examples.

Hello! I'm learning English, so here I am practicing. Cooking! I'll share what I think about cooking. Well, I quite like cooking even though it’s not my favorite activity. It gives me time to think and reflect while I perform repetitive tasks. It also gives me satisfaction to eat something good, and I enjoy when I can prepare it for others. To be honest, one day I would love to be with someone who enjoys cooking more than I do... so I don’t have to do it most of the time myself. It’s fun, but not if you're forced to do it every day. In my free time, I don’t usually cook, although trying new dishes every now and then can be fun. The problem is that you need time to prepare good food, and I usually don't have much of it... Thanks for your help!

It's rainy today, and the temperature has dropped significantly. I'm feeling a bit under the weather. This morning, my belly ached, and I felt like I had a fever, but I didn't. The pain subsided later, but I'm still feeling off. Mom had a good mind to take me to the clinic, but Dad suggested letting me fight the flu on my own. He believes that relying too much on medicine and doctors can hinder my natural immunity development. I hope he's right. Otherwise, I might have to ditch school tomorrow. I'll hit the hay early and hope for a flu-free tomorrow.
