Stressor #1 Homework

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 02:41:06 UTC

A stressor in my life is homework. Just having homework is stressful. But it can also be eustress or good stress because it motivates me to get off of my phone and do something other than be on my phone. Although I'd rather not do homework I would still rate this stress a 6 because I don't like homework but it pushes me to get off my phone.

Stressor #2 Family

A stressor in my life is my family. They are always constantly telling me to do things. But its mostly things that benefit me. Somethings that they might tell me are make sure you do your homework or fold your laundry. Sometimes it stressful because its like a bunch of things that I have to do that just pile up. But when I finish these things it feels a lot better. So I think this is eustress because they push me to get things done. I would rate this stress a 5 because it can be stressful at times but also beneficial

Stressor #3 Grades

A stressor in my life is my grades. I always tell myself that I have to get good grades no matter what. I think this stress could be eustress because it pushes me to get all my work done and to try my best on everything. I would overall rate this stress a 8 because its something that I constantly stress about and dont stop thinking about.

Stressor #4 Social Media

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 02:59:18 UTC

A stressor in my life is Social Media. When I see what trends there are or what other people are posting I might feel the need to do the same. Or sometimes a show that I never watched might be trending so I might feel like I have to watch the show to be able to understand what everyone is saying about it. I rate this stress a 3 because at times Social Media provides entertainment.

Stressor #5 Tests and Quizzes

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:01:28 UTC

A stressor in my life is tests/quizzes. Tests/Quizzes require studying which adds to the homework I already have so it makes me more stressed. Also tests/quizzes are usually a big part of your grade so I stress about making sure that I do well on them. I rate this stress a 9 because when I have a test I dont stop thinking about it and overall stress more.

Coping Mechanisms #1 Self Soothing

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:04:30 UTC

Self Soothing is comforting yourself using your 5 senses. For example I can listen to music. Or I could eat something such as a comfort food. For me it would be foods like Pizza or even Chicken.

Coping mechanism #2 Distraction

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:06:07 UTC

Distraction is a coping mechanism where you take your mind off whats causing you stress for a while. For example I could take a break and read a little of a book. Or I could watch a movie. You can give your mind a break and then get back to what you were doing.

Coping Mechanism #4 Opposite Action

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:07:22 UTC

Opposite action is a coping mechanism where you do something that is the opposite of your impulse that is consistent with a more positive emotion. For example maybe I can look at motivational statements. Or I could watch a funny TV show. Hopefully these things could change my mindset and reduce my stress. Even if its just by a little.

Coping Mechanism #5 Emotional Awarness

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:11:34 UTC

This coping mechanism is using tools to identify and express your feelings. For example I can make a chart of my emotions. I could also even draw how I am feeling.

Coping Mechanism #6 Mindfulness

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:12:59 UTC

Mindfulness is using tools for centering and grounding yourself in the present moment. For example I could play relaxing or meditation sounds/videos. I could also do breathing exercises.

Coping Mechanism #3 Crisis Plan

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:15:26 UTC

Crisis Plan is mostly used for when coping skills are not enough. You should contact others for help. For example family/friends. If its more serious then you can talk to a crisis team.

Another resource is another app called Journalate. On this app you can write about you're feelings and any thoughts you have in general. You can also keep you're self organized using the app. Its overall a great way to just get everything out and lift a weight off of you're chest.

My Hero

nmeawad — 2024-02-27 03:23:41 UTC

My hero is my mom. My mom inspires me so much everyday. She always helps me in any way. She also always has my back. She is a great person to talk to about anything. I think that it would be hard to walk in her shoes. She provides for two children and works for many hours. She helps everyone and is very caring. But sometimes since she can be so busy, she doesn't have time for herself. But overall I think it would be hard to walk in my heroes shoes.
