STRESS FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE!!

I am the type of learner who gets stress very easily, I mean super easily. I am a very sensitive person so, with just little things, I seem to stress about it a lot. Especially when it comes to grades, money and parents, I stress about it so much that sometimes I do not know what to do. For past few months I have been stressful about a lot of things and sometimes I try to relieve the 'unknown' stress by drinking with friends even though I know it is wrong. I never figured out what is causing me this much stress. I know that I am a very easily influenced by surroundings and get stress over it but I am never sure what is causing me to stress so much. This week's topic is stress management. Since I am a strong kinesthetic learner, I seem to work with things very well when I write it out and realize what the things are with my own eyes. So for this week I decided to write down my sources of stress and see which were causing me the most stress.

First this is a picture of my

sources of stress. Then for each list, I have labeled them either H of L to represent if the stress was a High stress or a Low stress for me. As you see in the picture on the left, The highest source of stress for me are parents, grades, money, future, major, summer plans, work, and exams. After writing these things down, I now see what is causing me to stress a lot. Before, I never knew what was causing me stress and I always just simply thought, since I get stress very easily, I never took it into serious considerations. But now I know which were causing me the most stress

Then this next picture on the left then is to see more clear and precise on my most source of stress. As you can see half of my pie diagram is filled with GPA and grades. GPA and grades then concludes that it is the biggest source that cause me the most stress. GPA has been always source of stress for me since High School because so many people always stressed me about how important GPA is in my life. I even thought GPA was more important than my health due to so many pressures from peers. Then it is money and future success that is stressing me the most. Money also has been problem for me all the time since I love love love spending money. Also, money is my stress reliever and a source of stress. Since I love money, future success has to be my next concern. I have to be successful in the future in order for me to get money that I love. Then it is majors, parents, relationships, and exams that comes after everything else.

After doing this blog, I have realized what the sources of my stress were. Next time when I am stressful, I might consider looking at this chart and find out what is causing me stress and try to get over it. I hope that even though these are my main stress, I hope that later on these stress will reduce into smaller pieces on my pie chart!
