ACMESkydiver 0 #1 May 17, 2005 I'm taking a Behavioral Science course for school, 'Stress Management'. I'm getting a lot out of it! I need help with this one, however: QuoteInterview your friends, your family, or your doctors to see how they view and treat stress. What did you conclude? In 1977 Dr. Pelletier suggested that 50-70 percent of all disease and illness was related to stress. It has been estimated by doctors themselves that about 85% of their patients suffer from stress. What advice and treatment do they provide? So what is your/are your favorite method(s) to deal with stress? Do you know of a method recommended by your doctor? I need to consolidate ideas from many sources for assingment #11. THANKS!! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

You mean my daily life? I don't have one specific thing that works for me...sometimes I work out, sometimes I listen to music and take a drive, sometimes I call people and complain, other times I just cry and eat. It all depends on the source of the stress... The stress I felt today prompted a phone call to my parents and me crying pitifully on the phone until I remembered that I can only take one day at a time and that everything will work out in the end...it always does.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SarahC07 0 #15 May 17, 2005 I take my mind out of the situation. More often than not, people are the source of my stress. I'm a born people pleaser and I often feel I've failed... However, I somehow convince myself not to care and that stressing over it won't help ... Puzzles, art projects (meticulous projects work best), music, and Episodes of "Friends" work well, anything that makes me laugh and most importantly thinking about the things in my life that really really matter... that usually straightens me out! Exercise doesn't work for me much, because I think about stuff when I run... and then I worry more....

To me, mindless entertainment in the comfort of my bed is great at fighting stress. Skydiving provides me with more of a thrill than stress relief, and working out is just something I have to do. TV is where it's at. But only because I can't afford massages.
