Personal Stress Management Plan.

Personal Stress Management Plan

Point 1: Tackling the Problem

-Why am I not doing as well as I’m hoping to in school? Could it be because I stay up late at night working and I would benefit from going to sleep on an earlier time? Is it possible that bedtime plays a larger role in my grades then believed?

-Fighting with people, especially before a large exam can hurt me in the longrun. Even though we can make up, does that truly solve the problem or just take up space in my mind?

-Consider using the planner more frequently. Missing asignment could be because of a lack of organization.

Point 2: Avoid Stress When Possible

Avoid certain people, like those who backtalk and aren’t really your friends because they’ll only disappoint.

Avoid certain places, like crowded trains and spaces that make me nervous and anxious.

Avoid certain things like food that gives me a stomach ache (lactose sensitivity, usually I just ignore it but it has consequences).

Avoid certain memories that cause pain for me, like older family or friends arguments that I think about from time to time. I should try to forget and keep a clear mind.

Point 3: Let Some Things Go; So I can Focus on Others

I realize that I waste some of my energy worrying about things I can’t fix; Here are some things that I can try to let go, so I can focus on the problems I can change.

I focus way too much on past arguments and what I could say differently to change how things are now, I should stop procrastinating and worrying so much on midterms because I just have to give it my all. Anyway, the fright is making me more nervous and struggle to get it done, and there’s so much I can do. Another thing is I should stop worrying about my grades to the point I can’t sleep at night without studying.

I know I waste some of my energy when I take things personally that really has nothing to do with me. I am going to learn this lesson by remembering I time I did this and not choosing to repeat the mistake.

Last year my friend got in a big fight with my other friend and I was the middleman and I kept trying to fix their friendship by staying up at night and talking to both of them. Although it was nice, I was too worried and dedicated to fix something that was already broken, and they both didn’t care enough. I can learn to be a good friend while still thinking for myself.

Point 4: The Power of Exercise

The kinds of things I like to do include swimming, tennis, running, situps, pushups, and yoga.

I can commit to 40 minutes of exercise a day. If I have trouble focusing in school, I will try exercising before school for 60 minutes to see if it helps me concentrate better.

The kind of things I might do include going on a long run, stretching, removing myself from situation and going out with friends for an hour, and stretch.
