About Blake
Hi, I’m Blake Butler, a high schooler at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland. I created Vibe to Empower because, like many teens, I know how overwhelming stress and anxiety can be. In the past, I have struggled with expressing my feelings and finding effective ways to manage them. Through my own journey, I realized that having a supportive community and access to mindfulness resources can make all the difference.
Vibe to Empower is my way of giving teens like me a safe space to explore stress management techniques, discover empowering content, and connect with others who understand. My goal is to create a tool that not only helps with anxiety but also empowers teens to take charge of their mental well-being in a meaningful way.

Managing Stress
Stress is something we all experience, especially as teenagers. It can come from school, social pressures, or even just trying to juggle everything in life. But there are ways to deal with it! Here are six simple strategies you can use to manage stress and feel more in control:
Practice Deep Breathing
How it helps: Deep breathing helps slow your heart rate and calm your mind, making it easier to relax.
What to do: Try inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 4 counts, and exhaling for 4 counts. Repeat for a few minutes.
Exercise Regularly
How it helps: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are chemicals that improve your mood and reduce stress.
What to do: Go for a walk, dance, do yoga, or play sports. Just get moving!
Journal Your Thoughts
How it helps: Writing down your feelings helps release built-up stress and clarifies your thoughts.
What to do: Spend 5-10 minutes each day writing about how you’re feeling or what’s stressing you out.
Connect with Friends
How it helps: Spending time with friends can help you relax and remind you that you’re not alone in what you’re going through.
What to do: Call, text, or hang out with friends to chat and enjoy each other’s company.
Listen to Music
How it helps: Music can have a powerful impact on your emotions. It can help uplift you or calm you down, depending on what you need.
What to do: Create a playlist of your favorite songs and play it when you need a mood boost.
Mindfulness Meditation
How it helps: Mindfulness helps you focus on the present moment, reducing feelings of overwhelm or anxiety.
What to do: Set aside 5-10 minutes to sit quietly, focus on your breathing, and clear your mind. There are plenty of free apps that can guide you.
