This assignment is a stress management journal that requires students to reflect on their personal experiences with stress. The journal prompts students to identify stressors, rate their intensity, and describe the physical and emotional symptoms they experience. Students are then asked to analyze the reasons behind their stress responses, drawing on concepts from the science of stress and the mind-body connection. The assignment further challenges students to assess how they could have handled specific stressors differently and to commit to a relaxation technique for better stress management. The student's journal entries reflect on symptoms like disturbed physical mobility, emotional distress, and traumatic events, linking these experiences to stress hormones and the fight-or-flight response. The assignment concludes with a commitment to meditation as a relaxation technique, practiced daily to manage stressors effectively. The assignment also references relevant research articles on stress, bullying, and mental health.
