| 0:12.3 | This week is all about managing anxiety. |
| 0:17.3 | You have a special challenge this week. |
| 0:21.6 | Your challenge is to give yourself a stress makeover. |
| 0:28.0 | So every day this week you are encouraged to notice how you manage stress. |
| 0:35.3 | Do you react in anger or maybe you feel sad or depressed? |
