👻 Ghost Your Stress

Happy Halloween! It’s time to ghost your stress and take care of your well-being.

Life can get busy for both teens and parents. Between school, work, sports, and daily responsibilities, stress can sneak up and drain your energy before you even notice. The good news is that you can take small steps to make it disappear and build resilience together as a family.

Notice What’s Causing Stress

Take a moment to check in with yourself and your family. What’s been feeling overwhelming lately? Talking openly about what’s creating stress helps everyone feel supported and less alone.

Get Moving

Physical activity is one of the best ways to shake off stress. Go for a family walk, play a game outside, or turn on some music and dance around the living room. Moving together helps release tension and boosts everyone’s mood.

Take Time to Recharge

It’s easy to forget to rest when schedules are full. Make space for quiet moments—read a book, have a no-screen night, or enjoy a cozy movie together. Recharging helps you handle challenges with more patience and calm.

Build Family Resilience

Strong families bounce back together. Try setting small goals, sharing daily gratitude, or finding positive ways to handle challenges. Encourage each other to take breaks, stay kind, and focus on what you can control.

Stress may try to haunt 👻 your family from time to time, but with a few simple habits, you can ghost it for good.
