Stress management

In my opinion, stress in our life could be kinds of emotional and human’s body natural symptom in our life. To some people, stress treats as chronic disease. My sister, who is student in the Busan, South Korea, had have a chronic disease of stress since she became a student. Whenever she had a test or quiz in the school, she became a aggressive cat, who is very angry about something. I understand the pressure of quiz and test. However, sometime the aggressive cat extreme express her emotion. The other people, stress treat as a one of the energy in their life. When I was in the high school in the wresting or rowing team, I really enjoyed my stress. I used it as my energy. The stress before I have a game or match made me exciting.

If you lose to controlling to manage your stress, your stress will come to you as a chronic disease. Then chronic disease of stress will be more stressful to you. However, if you are good at manage your stress, it could make your life more exciting. You can use it as a source of your life. Stress management is one of the most important HOMEWORK in our life. Stress management is started from controlling your reaction to stressful situation. If you just let your reaction to the stressful situation, the stress overcomes your emotion, which is made you more stressful. However, if you change your reaction in stressful situation, you could minimize your stress. The steps to manage your stress is started to understand Causes, Relax, and Organize. It is important to understand what cause your stress, how to relax myself, and organizing my surroundings and responsibilities.

As this weekend topic is the stress management, I decided to use two strategies which are Sources of stress and Five-minute Escape. The reason is I choose these strategies that these days I think I have too much things to do. But, the thing is I even do not know what that is. I think I am pressured by many things, which is very stressful for me. Also, I am very interesting about Five-minute Escape. I think I should know the way minimize my stress for some way, which is very essential for my entire life.

When I was thinking about my stress source, I noticed that MY LIFE is stress. I just get used to some things. For focus on the academic parts, ever weekend homework is very stressful for me. ENL, CLS, and MAT every single class has a totally different homework due every Sunday. I really love to take rest on the weekend. However, for this semester, I could not have comfort, cozy, nice, easy and GOOD weekend because of too much work on the weekend. I could not even go out with my friend, which is very stressful. Especially, for MAT 183, sometime the class is easy going. However, most of time class is going too fast, which means too much homework in one weekend. Thankfully, this weekend has only two packets of problem.

For five-minute escape, I think it is very good for make a peace in my mind for second. While I was doing the MAT 183, I tried this last night for relaxing my body and mind. I think it helps me ……………….a little or maybe not. I am not mentioning that Five-minute Escape is not a good way to minimizing stress. For me, I have another way to minimize my stress, which is stretching in the outside. Habitually, it is really works for me to concentrating on things. For Five-minute Escape, I think I should practice more about it. Right now, I think stretching is worked for me.

One more time, I think managing stress is really essential skill for having better life. It is good to know the way manage our life. For me, as I am a kinetics leaner and positive mind person. I think that I naturally minimize my stress, which is great, However, for some people, managing their stress is big problem in their normal life. I recommend that finding way that makes you relax in the ordinary life is important.
