...Peter Jo Stress is part of our lives. We live with it, deal with it, and above all worry about it. Our way of life, the area in which we live, the economy, and our jobs can cause a great deal of stress. Not everyone deals with the same level of stress and there are several factors that can impact our lives and cause us to have higher or lower stress levels. We can have stress caused by cataclysmic events which are events that can affect many people at the same time and are disasters such as tornado and plane crashes. Other factors are personal stressors and can be caused by events such as a divorce, death or a loved one or the loss of a job. Stress is the body's way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness. Stress can be beneficial to our lives because it can help motivate us to do daily tasks more efficiently. For example, if a student has an overwhelming amount of homework to do then the stress that develops from this can motivate that student to complete his/her homework more productively. In fact, it can also help boost our memory and can fortify our immune system. Stress is also a vital warning system, producing the flight or fight response. A small amount of stress can increase our concentration levels, so this allows us to be more productive. When we compare ourselves with people living in smaller cities, villages, other areas of the country or even other countries, or those whose...

...Blickensdorfer Psy-100 June 28, 2015 Amanda Laster-Loftus Psychology for Life In life stress is everywhere, and we face it every day. Stress is handled at work wither it is a co-worker or customer, and we have to handle it appropriately to ensure our stress levels stay neutral. Stress is also encountered at home because of finances, relationships, and family. Most people do not handle stress well, but I think it is important to understand where your stress comes from, so that you can handle it accordingly. When I took my stress test I knew that I would not be happy with my score, so I was not surprised at all. I am a very high strung individual, and I am always in a hurry. I also take things to heart, so at previous jobs when people got upset with me or the company it upset me also. My stress assessment showed me that I am on the verge of major stress problems. It let me know that I need to slow down, and probably could use some quiet time for myself. I could also channel my stress into something productive. Stress impacts our bodies in different ways when we handle stressful situations like work, or good situations like winning an award. Stress effects the body by triggering the fight or flight response which in normal doses can improve performance. (Kotz 2008) When the body becomes stressed the hypothalamus tells the adrenal glands to release adrenaline or cortisol. Once the stress goes away the body releases hormones that tells it to go back to normal. The body also...

...Literature Review Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Stress is different for each person. What one person feels is a stressful situation, another individual might not find stressful at all. People also handle stress differently. There is a lot of interpretation when it comes to stress. People deal with stress in a variety of ways. Some people handle stress better than others. Through the experiments we read about throughout the class we learned people handle stress differently and are influenced by the behaviors of others when it comes to a stressful situation. Introduction On the Holmes and Rahe self-assessment I scored a 120. This gives me a low chance of becoming ill in the future. On the Holmes and Rahe college student self-assessment, I don’t remember my exact score, but it was less than 150 which indicates mild stress. Nothing really stood out to me the most when I took these assessments. I completed these same assessments in the last course I completed at SNHU. My results did not surprise me. What I found most interesting is that the items that gave me the most points were things that I did not see as stressful events. To me Christmas and vacation are fun and relaxing events. I never really stress about either of those events. I do see where some people might find them stressful though. I seem to have a good handle on things, my life has been calm lately and I don’t have much stress to deal with...

...It is an often debated topic when discussing the comparison of stress levels of women compared to the stress levels of men. There are different causes of stress as well as different methods of relieving stress. On average, women feel as though they have more stress than men and handle stress better than men. Many people experience different forms of stress. Be it personal, emotional, physical or work-related. How to handle these kinds of stress is essential to having a balanced life. We all get emotional occasionally or lose our temper once in a while. But if you are out of balance in either one of these areas, it is very important to get back in balance if you want your day or life to go right. If your feelings get hurt because someone looks at you the wrong way or because friends, family and even co-workers forget your birthday, some spend more time with God praying and asking for the hurt to be lifted off of you. You will be built up in your spirit and better able to overlook the offenses of others and forgive them. Forgiving is an excellent stress reliever. Releasing all of that tension and calming your spirit. Quite of few people relieve their stress by praying. Giving your issues, concerns and worries to God is the best thing you can do for yourself. Another form of stress relieving is listening to music. Music, they say, can soothe the savage beast and we all have a savage beast in us some times. It can be jazz, instrumental, classical or gospel just to name...

...Section A – English assignment Summary of Bad stress, good stress. Texts 2 Bad Stress, Good Stress by Sacha Bonsor is an article about the issue of coping with stress. Sacha Bonsor writes about Piers Morgan and his aggressive attitude while being put under pressure and being stressed. Sacha Bonsor also writes that stress has become a too common word and that it is an overrated expression in the modern language, which she develops further with the raising statistics of stress from the UK economy. The article also mentions that those people who are able to cope with stress have high levels of what academics and psychologist call “psychological flexibility”. And for those people who cannot handle stress is it possible to teach them how to handle stress effectively. Clare Harris, a lecturer at the Praxis Centre for Developing Personal Effectiveness, says that the crux of the problem is to recognize stress that often manifests itself by taking out one’s tension on others. Yet a certain amount of tension is not only good for us but also vital to our well-being. Comment on the statement: “If you want to live long and healthily, don’t settle into routines” Routines can both be good for you and bad for you. You can say that a routine is like a schedule for your actions in life but you don’t always need to have schedules in your life. People will always make routines in their lives because it’s safe. When you have a routine in your life, you have a picture of what is going...

...“easy” and fast. These may fill our stomachs but in the long wrong will hurt us. My third goal would be to continue an exercise routine and not only stick to it, but push it and do more. Rather than walk 30 minutes a day, may I can do an hour or 4 or 5 days a week. It would not hurt me in an way to be more active. Being more active and getting my blood pumping would also help my mental issues. Clearing my brain and feeling better about myself can change your whole mood. The health risks associated with poor physical health can affect every aspect of your life. Your physical health is how well your body functions and how well you take care of yourself. You want to be sure to be physically active. This means to be conscious of what you are eating versus how much you are physically active. If you have a sedentary life, you don’t want to be eating more calories than you are burning. These calories will add up and become stagnant fat that collects in the fat deposits. With that being said, you also you want to make the right choices when it comes to sex, drinking, and drugs. You want to be sure to get enough sleep. I struggle with this personally. There never seems to be enough time in the day to handle what I need. I...

...Stress James Farrar From the moment of birth to the end of life one way or another we all have to deal with stress. Each of us cope with stress in our own way because there are some many different types of stress from self- imposed to environmental, there seems to be no end to it. What determines the extant of the damage done by the effects of whatever stress that is imposed is the ability to cope with, process and or deal with whichever type of stress one has to handle. It is my belief that most stress is self- imposed by that I mean a lot of the problems we face every day are brought on by poor decisions which can lead to undue amounts of stress. Through long periods of isolation and dehumanization I have personally had to deal with some stresses that would have rendered the average person delirious. It is also my belief as previously stated that each and every one of us copes with stress in our own way, what may drive one person crazy may not bother another. There are some people I know that crumble when the slightest thing goes wrong and then there are others who step up when put under pressure. The above really only covers the obvious, there are instances such as some children born with debilitating diseases or say someone who was born blind, they would still have to deal with the disability but learning to cope with it or maybe just absence of stimuli makes it easier to handle, it may also...

... Abstract This paper seeks to apply the concepts of Motivation, Stress and Communication to real life processes through creation of a Job posting for a desired job. The job posting will be analyzed and interpreted to see how motivation, Stress and Communication can impact an employees self-efficacy as well as desire to try. Motivation can be influenced by Internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role or subject or to make an effort to attain a goal. “Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the (1) intensity of desire or need, (2) incentive or reward value of the goal, and (3) expectation of the individual and of his or her peers. These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way”. Motivation comes in many forms but it is necessary for the completion of many tasks within a job or the process of applying for the job. “Stress is mental, physical, or social, force or pressure that put real or perceived demand on the body, emotions, mind, or spirit, and which (when it exceeds the stress-handling capacity of the individual) lead to a breakdown”.

...Causes and Prevention of Burnout in Human Services Staff • Burnout Burnout is “a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion resulting from involvement with people in emotionally demanding situations” (Lewis, Packard, & Lewis, 2007, p. 132). Another definition of the term “burnout” is coined by a psychologist named Herbert Freudenthal. Freudenthal states that burnout is a psychological condition caused by unrelieved work stress that results in: lacking physical energy and emotional exhaustion, more susceptible to illnesses, interpersonal relationships become impersonal, dissatisfaction and pessimism abound, absenteeism and work inefficiency are noticeable (Hatfield & Gray, n.d.). • Describe individual, cultural, organizational, supervisory, and social support factors that cause burnout Individual factors that cause burnout are personalities such as a “Type A or Type B” personality profiles or possessing unrealistic career goals or expectations, such as wanting to become president of a company after one year may result in burnout (Lewis, Packard, & Lewis, 2007, p. 133). Some cultural factors that cause burnout are the aspects of culture that include a feeling of disconnect with the community, the frustration that comes with not meeting the expectations of maximizing one’s work potential, and dealing with widespread competition (Lewis, Packard, & Lewis, 2007, p. 134). Organizational factors that cause burnout are a lack of flexible management philosophies, lack...
