Let The Stress Fly Away

Get it? Stress is one of the things we live along with throughout the whole cycle of life. Some are enormous, and some are everyday stress that we have to cope with. However, when things get too big, then it becomes a problem. Not only time management is very important, managing stress is also a very important step in our life. Whenever I get stressed, I do certain activities that I like to do in order to get rid of them. This has been an ongoing process for me all throughout my life, and I am sure it is for most people as well. I have used Stress Diagram and Sources of Stress to sort out my stresses and found out where they came from. Actually thinking about them and listing them down made me realize what kind of stress I had, and how much they are taking a part in my life.

When I was drawing the stress diagram, I was able to see what was the major causes of my stress. Grades and school took a big part of the diagram and most of my stress was derived from school, worries/hope about my future, and parents' expectation, which is also related to school work. Now that I have list of my stressful factors, I feel that I can get more control over my stresses and how I should cope with them.

This is my sources of stress. They are very related to the diagram, with the school work, managing my time, procratinating, and worrying about grades and my life in the future. We live under constant stress and this is what help us function and control our emotions and our behaviors.

We may always feel like we want to get away from the current moment of stress, but I know that it is impossible. I want to make myself be able to cope with stress better, and know how to handle them, not just feel pressured all the time.

Stresses can be problems but at the same time they can be motivators.

I came to understand that without stress, where would be all the joy, and the fun and relief? I do things that I like whenever I feel like I am under pressure of stress. This is the time when I can relieve my stress and at the same time, make my feelings better and get myself together. I like to play sports such as basketball, listen to music, write and sing, hang out with friends when I am stressful. I realized that what would be the point of all these if I am living without stress? I would not feel relief, motivated, and the need to control myself if there was no stress. In effect, moderate stress is healthy mentally and physically. However, getting under too much pressure will be painful and there is a greater chance that I might give up on something if there is too much stress overwhelming me. There are always ways to get rid of your stress. I must always stay on top of my things and do the best in whatever I do so that I do not get under too much pressure. We must strive from the stress, because it is an essential part of life, and we must just accept it as it is. Stress coping skills is an important factor.

Do not let stress overwhelm you and you must handle it and get rid of it. Just enjoy!
