However, I have been working towards finding some stress management techniques to try throughout the semester.

At this point, I have been practicing deep breathing. I was hoping to do this first when I wake up, however I have been doing in at particularly stressful times in the day.]]> 2017-10-11 01:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195857796 sharm939 https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195859129 There is definitely something to be said for getting away for a few days! I was fortunate to spend some time with a friend in Daytona Beach in September. It was just what I needed...sunshine, warm temps, beautiful sandy beaches, and the calming sound from waves!!

I returned home with renewed purpose to work towards achieving the goals I have set for myself!]]> 2017-10-11 02:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195859129 sharm939 https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195859883 I have read a bit that affirmations can have a positive effect on personal wellness. Since my journey is improving stress management skills I thought that I would use this affirmation for the remainder of this week. I will read it aloud to myself and gauge the effect it has on me. If I experience a positive feeling, I will find some more to use.]]> 2017-10-11 02:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195859883 sharm939 https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195861503 Final post for today. As part of my journey I will reward myself monetarily when I complete an achievement. I have a savings account established; the only thing I have yet to determine is what will constitute an achievement.]]> 2017-10-11 02:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sharm939/faumwfuojoym/wish/195861503
