Understanding the sources of why I am stressed has its pros
and cons. When I think about why I am stressed from being involved to having a
particular course load I hate putting the blame on others. It is easy to be
stressed out when you do not feel an instructor is adequately teaching a course
or things come up during time you have planned to study. I have found that I
get more upset with myself for not getting done with certain things sooner and
letting a workload pile up. I stress myself out every day when I have not
accomplished all that I have set out to. When I do not get something done as planned
that then gets pushed back into the next day, I then have to keep thinking
about it every time I think of all I still need to do which adds to more
stress.
I manage stress a lot of times by finding an escape and
getting out of my own thoughts by concentrating on something else. I love to
read and that is a great outlet for me.
I can get consumed in someone else’s life then return to mine. I also
never have time to watch television shows when they come on, being able to take
a few hours and catch up helps as well.
Being more productive in the manner I want I think will
help. I get upset when things do not meet my expectations. With life not being
predictable I need to take time to let more things roll off and not let it
consume my thoughts. Being an introvert most of my ways to relieve stress are
solitude activities like reading but at some point getting away helps. Going
shopping with friends, just hanging out, going to church etc. are also things
that help me not be as stressed out. Its good talking to everyone around me and
us having the commonality that we are all overwhelmed at times.
