My stressor right would be being a student-athlete. Balancing academics and sports can be tough. I feel the pressure to maintain good grades while also training and competing in my sports, which sometimes creates a lot of stress and anxiety for me. What makes it even more difficult is how demanding my classes are.

My reflection on the effectiveness of exercise

My reflection on the effectiveness of exercise

# data[].attributes.body
I find that exercise to be one the most highly effective ways reducing stress, both in the short-term and long-term. From either a slight jog to miles of running to heavy weightlifting whenever I exercise It helps me release the pent-up energy and tension, which are both stress contributing factors. Exercising for me also helps improve my sleep quality, which is crucial for stress management, because I notice I get a much better night’s rest and morning wake on the days I workout than the days I’m slacked all day. One huge thing exercise did for me which is why I recommended exercising to everybody was that it improved my self-esteem and confidence, which can reduce stress and anxiety. I used to be overweight and disliked how unhealthy I was but since I started exercising, I'm now in great shape, I look great and most importantly I feel great. So I would say exercising is really effective at managing stress.
