Reducing StressPersonal Management Skills• I will start utilizing this by making lists like that suggested in the text, as well as plan and

practice making my goals a reality . (1989, Tubesing)

Relationship Skills• I am aiming at utilizing the relationship skill of making more of an effort to be around people and

socialize outside of work more. I will start by initiating an unrelated goal of finding playmates for mychildren. In doing so I will be faced with meeting the parents which brings opportunities tocommunicate and form friendships.

Outlook Skills• Of these skills I am going to begin utilizing the skill of surrendering. I will focus

on something I need to let go and say good-bye to it. I will make a consciouseffort to not worry about things before they are present, and I will worktoward understanding that not everything will get finished. I will also talkmore to a friend about my issues.

Physical Stamina Skills• I am going to begin using the “Relaxation” Skill by taking 10 minutes once a

day to relax through walking. I will periodically evaluate where I am feelingtension and visualize it disappearing as well as do breathing exercises.

• I think what I really have learned from this course is that there is a difference between

knowing that your stressed out and knowing why your stressed out, why yourreacting the way you are, and how there are many ways to reduce stress.

• I learned that by analyzing your stressor triggers and how you cope with each kind of stress differently, one can more easily recognize high stress and actively worktowards changing any bad coping habits.

Anxiety is caused by the stress in my life both from current and past experiences. Aftersome time of successfully managing this on my own it became apparent thatmedication may be beneficial to help alleviate some of the anxiety. This has so farproven to be effective in helping me to better manage my feelings and stress.
