Stress & Balance

Achieving balance in areas of life such as work, family, home, and school can be a challenge for students. If one area is neglected, other aspects of your life may suffer, creating a stressful environment.

Your textbook states that long-term stress can harm mental or physical health and/or keep you from reaching your goals.

Notice which areas in your own life are in balance and which seem to be out of balance. Reflect on the amount of stress that the out-of-balance areas cause. Consider ways to manage and minimize stress in your life to achieve balance.

Write a stress report that answers the following questions. At the end, give yourself steps to deal with stress that arrises in your life. If you already go through a process, explain what that process is and whether it is working for you or not. Where can you make improvements?
