Managing

Stress for
Teachers in
the New
Normal
 STRESS…what is it?
Stress is defined as physical, mental and emotional tension.
Tensions, on the other hand, are the emotional, physical or
psychological pressures you experience. They occur when the
normal condition of your body is disturbed, like when you get
thrilled when you hug someone special, or when you feel
depressed for not being able to find a job. The feeling of
being in control and relaxed is what we call the body’s
normal condition. But when you are thrilled or depressed,
your normal condition is affected, you become tense and you
lose some control over yourself.
EXCITEMENT AND
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE
STRESS. WHEN SOMETHING
GOOD HAPPENS, DON’T YOU
GET EXCITED? ON THE
OTHER HAND, IF YOU HAVE
SO MUCH WORK LIKE FOR
EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU ARE
MEETING A DEADLINE, YOU
GET PRESSURED, RIGHT?
THEN YOU START TO GET
WORRIED, UPSET, TENSE
OR DISAPPOINTED.

OR PRESSURE? IF SO,

COMMENT BOX…
 ONCE YOU ARE UNDER STRESS, YOUR BODY IMMEDIATELY
REACTS. THESE REACTIONS ARE CALLED SYMPTOMS OF
STRESS. WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THESE SYMPTOMS, IT DOES
NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE ILL. THESE SYMPTOMS ONLY WARN
YOU THAT THERE IS SOME DISTURBANCE IN THE NORMAL
CONDITION OF YOUR BODY.

WORRY
 Philippians 4:6-13
DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING; INSTEAD, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. TELL
6 

GOD WHAT YOU NEED, AND THANK HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE. 7 THEN YOU
WILL EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, WHICH EXCEEDS ANYTHING WE CAN
UNDERSTAND. HIS PEACE WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS AS YOU LIVE
IN CHRIST JESUS.
AND NOW, DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ONE FINAL THING. FIX YOUR
8 

THOUGHTS ON WHAT IS TRUE, AND HONORABLE, AND RIGHT, AND PURE, AND
LOVELY, AND ADMIRABLE. THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE EXCELLENT AND
WORTHY OF PRAISE. 9 KEEP PUTTING INTO PRACTICE ALL YOU LEARNED AND
RECEIVED FROM ME—EVERYTHING YOU HEARD FROM ME AND SAW ME DOING.
THEN THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU.
HOW I PRAISE THE LORD THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ME AGAIN. I
10 

KNOW YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONCERNED FOR ME, BUT YOU DIDN’T HAVE
THE CHANCE TO HELP ME. 11 NOT THAT I WAS EVER IN NEED, FOR I HAVE
LEARNED HOW TO BE CONTENT WITH WHATEVER I HAVE. 12 I KNOW HOW TO
LIVE ON ALMOST NOTHING OR WITH EVERYTHING. I HAVE LEARNED THE
SECRET OF LIVING IN EVERY SITUATION, WHETHER IT IS WITH A FULL STOMACH

Don’t worry about anything.

Matthew 6:25
25 
“Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink;
or about your body,
what you will wear.
Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothes?
 Matthew 6:26

Look at the birds of the air; they do not

26 

sow or reap or store away in barns, and

yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not much more valuable than they?
 Matthew 6:28-29

“And why do you worry about clothes?

28 

See how the flowers of the field grow.

They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you
29 

that not even Solomon in all his

splendor was dressed like one of these.
 Matthew 6:28-29

“And why do you worry about clothes?

28 

See how the flowers of the field grow.

They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you
29 

that not even Solomon in all his

splendor was dressed like one of these.
1 Peter 5:7

Give all your worries and

 

cares to God, for he cares

about you.
Worrying is unhealthy

to a healthy body”
