Lacrosse: lacrosse is one of my stressors because even though I love playing it so much, I strive to be the best I can be. This stressor is a good stressor or eustress. I push myself to be better every day and that sometimes gets me angry with myself if I don't catch a ball or make a goal since I try to be perfect when playing. But it works out in the end because since I practice hard, I play the game hard. I rate this stress a 2/10. (10 being really bad stressor)

stressor #5

amcgowan39 — 2024-02-26 22:40:18 UTC

Relationships: I don't know if this counts but it is true. Being in a relationship for me is fun but even though we are young it is stressful. This stressor is a bad stressor. I worry a lot so when something happens and its not ideally how I would want it to happen I get really worried if we can't talk it out then and there. Being in a relationship has its fun moments but it also can go downhill, if your in a relationship with someone you love and offer a lot of your time into them and then they say they don't feel the same or they don't like you anymore, that can be really stressful because you don't know what you did wrong and that can cause stress. I rate this stressor a 7/10. (10 being really bad stressor)

Centering and grounding yourself In the present moment. Mindfulness is really helpful, it grounds you to the earth and lets you relive all of your stress with meditation and yoga. For me, doing yoga is very relaxing and it releases tension in your body. This tension could be the core to why you are so stressed. So, if I need to relax my body I know that I can just do some meditation or yoga to help.

My #1 hero - My sister ashlee

amcgowan39 — 2024-02-27 01:43:01 UTC

My sister ashlee is my hero. A lot of people will say their parents and don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate both of my parents very much. But, I really do look up to my oldest sister ashlee. Ashlee is who I want to be, she is independent, smart, funny, clean, gorgeous and everything under the sun. When I was younger my parents got divorced, Ashlee was always there to make us dinner, help me with my homework, put me to bed and everything else. Ashlee is my favorite person in my family and I dedicate all of my knowledge to her. Me and Ashlee share very similar hobbies, we both play lacrosse, we have the same style, we both look more like our dad and we just click. I never get into fights with her and she really is my hero. She saved my childhood.
