Stress Management

This week we learned about stress management! This is a good thing for me to do because I am stressed out a lot! I let stress get to me and get very over whelmed with school.

Stress is something that you can't always control. Its hard to stop yourself from being stressed out if you have a lot of work. We can try to minimize the stress by doing things to avoid it. Although we may not be able to eliminate it, there are definitely different strategies to avoid some of it.

I chose to use the strategies STRESS DIAGRAM and A DAY AT A TIME. For STRESS DIAGRAM, I made a list of the different sources that cause me stress. I then made a chart of the different sources and separated them into sections with sizes that were based on how stressful the sources are for me.

I used this strategy for WRITING and CAS 100. I am a VISUAL LEARNER and this strategy was very helpful. I could see what was stressing me out and how much it was stressing me out.

I then used the strategy A DAY AT A TIME. I wrote down a list of five things that were stressing me out and the next day I checked off a few of them that weren't stressing me out anymore. I used this strategy for HUMAN SEXUALITY and CLS.

I will definitely use these strategies whenever I am stressed and want to know whats causing it!
