The first strategy for coping with my stress is exercise. I try my best to exercise regularly and keep myself in the routine for physical relief.

Some of the greatest strengths others consider me to have are my determination skills, my patience, my teamwork skills, my management skills, my confidence, my kindness, and my cheerfulness.

I use several stress management techniques, but the one that helps to alleviate my stress the best, is walking while listening to music.

I exercise regularly which I believe will help me uses up the hormones and nervous energy produced when you are stressed. I also believe exercise will also help to relax the muscles which become tense when am stressed, and, as exercise increases the blood flow around the body, it can help me to think more clearly.

My methods of coping with stress are effective because it allows me to feel more relaxed and rejuvenated than I did before. To lower my stress levels I like to get some rest, pray, take a warm bath, as well as working out. Getting rest allows my body to feel more awake and energized. without energy I wouldn't be able to go through the day and complete certain tasks. Even getting a few minutes of sleep can make a big impact on decreasing the amount of stress you felt prior to your rest. Resting can allow me to clear my mind and feel more confident in what it is that I have to do. By doing this it puts my mind in a more serene state. Praying allows me to release a load off of my chest as well as being able to let all of my problems and frustrations out to God, someone who I know will listen and guide me down the right path. Praying allows me to feel more secure and assures me that everything will be alright. Something that i think is actually more relaxing than sleeping is being able to take a hot bath. Doing so allows your muscles to relax and removes all the tension from your

Stress can sometimes be caused by others. Stress can also be caused by things such as college, work, money, friends and family. I feel everybody deals with stress in their own way it's just up to the person on how they would like to deal with it. I deal with stress in many different ways. At one point in my life I used weed to cope with stress but I felt that this wasn't best for me for money reason and because that is not a healthy way to deal with stress. Now I use sports to deal with stress. When I am really having a stressful day I tend to go to the gym with some headphones and some of my favorite music playing and go shoot around. I feel this is a better way to deal with stress. It is something that I really enjoying doing. I would recommend that if someone was looking for a way to deal with stress they should find something that they can do that they really enjoy.

Ever since I was a child, I have had a strong bond with my family. I have always felt that I could talk to my parents and grandparents about anything. Over the years, they have given me advice that I have always taken to heart. When I was five years old and going into kindergarten, my mom told me to treat and view every single one of my classmates as if they were the most special people in the world. As a freshman in high school, my dad told me to always follow my gut and to stand up for what I believe in. I was given perhaps the biggest piece of advice from grandpa during my freshman year in college. He told me that if I worked hard, then everything would work out in the end. After completing my first week of my teaching credential program,

Personally, coping with stress depends on the type of stress I’m experiencing. If the stress I’m experiencing has low severity, I typically take a break from what I’m doing, whether it’s homework or if I’m in a social situation for example. I then walk away from the situation, take some deep breaths, and have positive self-talk. Sometimes I need to remind myself that what I’m stressing out about doesn’t have such a huge impact on my life. I remind myself life will go on and that the best way to face my stress is

My second strength is to seek first to understand, then be understood. There was a time in my life that this section would have been a low scoring section for me. I was once a person that would never put myself into the position of another to fully establish a connection of understanding from the other persons point of view, I was too busy. Now I have “individualized consideration” and I think age and career choices are the reasons why. In an article by B. Wilson, (2003-2005), he writes that “Stephen Covey, as others, believes that the only way to establish communication in some professional and personal situations is by becoming, in small part, the person you are listening to”. I make every attempt to do that exact procedure when employees come to me with problems or concerns. I’m no longer impatiently waiting on them to finish their story but now I put myself in their shoes. It’s important for the staff to feel as though they can come to me with issues and this is where the idealized influence and individual consideration come into play. Listening to the staff and genuinely caring about them makes for a more pleasant work environment, happier employees, and appreciative people.

Growing up, my parents frequently bombarded me with the celebrated saying: “Eat all your food. Some people in the world do not have any”. As a kid, I always shrugged this off as just another instance of parents exuding typical parental behavior. Yet as I got older, I came to learn how my parents’ sayings proved not merely proverbs, but in fact their history.

I am currently a third-year student in the management co-op program, specializing in accounting and had completed my first work term in PwC as a Tax Associate. Through identifying my competencies with the assessments (Appendix) and collecting feedbacks from people who know me well, 2 of my strengths and 2 weaknesses that will be discussed in more detailed below.

You have people all around the world and none of them are the same. You have people with high tempers, you got the lazy people that don’t ever do anything, and the over achievers and everyone is about in the middle of those three. I have taken a personality test and learned that I have an Executive personality type, if you do not know what that means I am like the boss in a business. This trait is held by less than 11% of the population. I am stubborn, organized, and judgmental.

• Develop your interests and hobbies. Finding an activity that's completely different from the things causing you stress is a great way to get away from everyday pressures. If stress is making you feel lonely or isolated, shared hobbies can also be a good way to meet new people.

Reliving stress by yoga can help, in my yoga class we would do different poses and by the end we would lay down for 10 minutes to rest and
