Resetting your BlackBerry device will delete everything on it, so make sure that you've saved any important data. Resetting your BlackBerry will also delete any IT policies that your BlackBerry may have received from your company's BlackBerry Enterprise Server, so check with our IT department if this is a company phone. The easiest way to back up a BlackBerry is to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software. Connect your BlackBerry to your computer via USB and click the "Back Up Now" button in BlackBerry Desktop Software to begin the back up process. If you are using a newer BlackBerry running BlackBerry 10 OS (Z10, Q10, Q5, Z30, P'9982, Z3, Passport, Classic, Leap), follow these steps to securely erase your device. If you're using an older model, see the next step:  Swipe down from the top of the Home screen and tap the "Settings" button. Tap "Security and Privacy" and then tap "Security Wipe." Type "blackberry" into the text field to confirm that you want to erase the device. Enter your BlackBerry ID and password if prompted. This will only happen on devices running 10.3.2 or later. Tap "Delete Data" to begin the wipe and reset process. Do not turn off the power or remove the battery during the reset. If you are using an older-model BlackBerry (Bold, Curve, Pearl, Storm, Torch, Style), follow these steps to securely reset your device:  Click "Options" on your BlackBerry's Home screen. Click "Security" or "Security Options" and then "Security Wipe." Check the boxes for the data you want to delete. Type "blackberry" in the field and then click "Wipe." Do not turn off the phone or remove the battery during the wipe process.

Stress affects your sleep cycle and can make you feel even more anxious the next day. Try to go to sleep at a reasonable time and keep your room as dark as possible so you sleep through the night. Set an alarm for the morning so you don’t oversleep or stress yourself out by running late.  Try drinking chamomile tea if you have trouble falling asleep since it helps you relax naturally. Avoid bright lights or any noise at least an hour before bed. Spend your last hour before going to sleep doing something quiet, like reading or meditating in dim lights. Schedule at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise during the days when you want to work out. Try playing an intramural sport, jogging, going on hikes, or lifting weights so you can exercise every part of your body. As you work out, be sure to stay hydrated so you don’t feel fatigued. Also be sure to stretch after your workout. Stretching not only prevents your body from getting damaged, but it is also a great stress release. Throughout the day, incorporate plenty of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins into your diet to help your body function properly. Enjoy foods like whole-wheat pasta, dark leafy greens, beans, nuts, carrots, apples, and eggs. Try to have 3–5 small meals every day so you don’t overeat.  Limit the number of sugary, processed, and fried foods in your diet since they aren’t as healthy. Avoid mindlessly eating when you’re anxious since it could lead to even more stress. Pour each glass so it’s about 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) so you can get a healthy amount of water. Avoid drinking your water all at once, or else you may feel dehydrated or parched later on. Instead, have a glass every few hours so you can space it throughout the day. Plain water is best, but you can also drink unsweetened herbals teas and 100% fruit or vegetable juices. Try to cut out caffeinated coffee, sodas, and teas from your diet since they can increase your heart rate and make you feel stressed out. Switch to decaf options if you can so you can still enjoy the same drinks. If you drink alcohol, only have 1–2 drinks each day and have a glass of water with each one so you don’t get intoxicated. Sometimes people drink alcohol as a way to deal with stress, and this habit is not only unhealthy but it is dangerous and can lead to much higher stress in the long run. Yoga and meditation are all about mindfulness, so they can help you recognize your stressful feelings. Look for a yoga routine online or visit a studio near you so you can try it out. Focus on how your mind and body feel while you’re breathing and stretching so you can recognize how relaxed you are. Many studios have free beginner classes so you can try it out before you sign up.
