    Discussion Assignment

    Stress, both good and bad, is a part of life. In the discussion forum discuss the following:

    1. Why is stress management important? How has stress affected your life?

    Stress management is very important and can affect physical health and daily life
    activities if not managed correctly. Stress affected my life in way where I feel sometimes
    that I can’t manage everything and that important things might get neglected.

    2. Identify three stress management techniques you are going to use to decrease your stress
    levels. How can you apply these strategies to your life? How will these strategies help
    you manage your stress?

    By going through the Help Guide – Stress Management, I found the perfect three

    techniques that will suit my daily lifestyle.

    Technique no1:

    First identify the cause or source of stress that you encounter and create a stress journal. This will

    create a pattern and it will make it easier to identify in the future and then ask these questions for

    to yourself. This will be my journal format.

    1. What happen that made me stress?

    2. How did I fell, emotionally and physically?

    3. I did I react to the situation?

    4. What did I do to make the situation better?

    Technique no2:

    Use the four A’s in this order. Avoid, Alter, Adapt and Accept

    Avoid: Try to avoid negative people that might trigger stress. Learn to say “NO”, don’t

    get influence by friends or family. Manage your environment, if you live in a noisy

    neighborhood and battle to study, go to a quiet coffee shop or even a park.


    Alter: Try to resolve it immediately, if someone stresses you out, talk to the person then

    and there in a respectful manner. Manage your daily schedule; create equilibrium within

    your daily task and make changes until it is perfect.

    Adapt: If the situation is in a state where you can’t change it, try to change yourself in

    order to adapt with it.

    Accept: Always look for the positive things in a stress environment. Sometimes things

    can’t be changed so we just need to learn to accept it as it is.

    Technique no3:

    Connect with other people that make you feel positive, people that make you laugh.

    Sometimes just to talk to someone will relief stress, by interacting with each other there is

    no time for stress to arise. Schedule outings with friends, go to the movies, restaurants or

    even exercise together, which is not just healthy but also a good stress reliever. But be

    responsible and manage you time so that other important things do not get neglected.

    I can apply this techniques on a daily basis and make it part of my lifestyle, so that it will

    be normal and natural reaction to handle things differently. These strategies and

    techniques can help me exceptionally as from now and onwards, because I never had a

    guideline to work with stress or feelings, these techniques and strategies gives me clarity

    over the situation and stress environment.
