Many potential stressors we
face involve events or situations that require us to make changes in our
ongoing lives and require time as we adjust to those changes. Reflect on and
share a stressor that you have experienced.What stress management strategies or
coping styles were involved to better manage this stress?
Once in a while, each person
gets stressed as they balance work, personal life, and school. Students' stress
could result from family issues, financial issues, low grades, and work and
school balance. If not well handled, stress could worsen and lead to other
mental issues such as depression and anxiety. For instance, I once experienced
financial strain, which drained me, leading to depression and low grades.
However, some of the strategies I used to manage the stress were practicing
healthy living habits such as a proper diet, exercising, creating a budget,
talking to family and friends, and seeking professional advice.
