Evaluate some of your sources of stress and coping strategies that might be used to tackle them.

1. In your reflections, state three things that you currently find stressful (and are okay with sharing).

1. Appraise each of these stressors in terms of your cognitions about them, meaning why do you think these three things are stressful? Do you think all of your concerns about them are accurate?

1. What can you do to cope with each of these stressors? What form of coping does each strategy represent? (Forms of coping: problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, avoiding dealing with the stressor).

1. Which coping style do you think is best for coping with stress in general? Choose between problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and avoiding dealing with problems. State your choice , and explain why you chose that coping style as best.
