Discussion Board 4: Reply 1 Thank you for your post Charles, I enjoyed reading your perspective on stress and how you deal with that in your current job. Many of us could take the way you deal with stress and apply it to our jobs and workplace. Stress is something that, most likely, effects all of us at some point during our careers. I personally experience situations on daily basis that cause some level of stress. When that happens, I rely on the words of Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” and I take time on my drive home to pray and ask God to help me let go of my worries. I am fortunate, like you, that I can take my concerns
ANSWER- A time I faced a problem with stress was when I was working my pro shop assistant job at Chisago Lakes Golf Course. I was eighteen years old and helping my boss run a big tournament, getting stuff ready for the tournament the day before. The morning of the tournament he hurt his back. He came into work and could not function as well as he needed to run the tournament. I was his right-hand man that summer helping with every day things, so he put me in charge of the tournament and running the staff to help with the tournament. So, I came into work thinking it was just another day I was going to help
I agree with Kelly McGonigal, not because whatever she said, is true about stress, but I feel that situation in my life. As she said that stress can be the healthier and gives you joy and meaning of a life. For example, I am not sure that this has been with me since I born, but I need stress in order to survive, and studying well because if I don’t have stress than I feel like helpless, or shiftless. Likewise, people need to distinguish between the good and bad stress before looking the result of it. Similarly, this topic is like “ see and think always right for better opportunities and for being a better
Working at a job full-time serving tables while enrolled in school with a full load is difficult enough, but when students decide their scholastic achievements lack the certain luster that may provide a means to support themselves and their family, it becomes useful to try one’s hand in the athletic dogma that is college sports. According to Show Them The Money, written by Donald H. Yee, his most important statement is, “we all know that the sole focus for many star college players is getting ready for pro ball, that coaches are looking for financial security on the backs of teenagers and that boosters enjoy the ego stroke that comes with virtually owning a piece of the team. There isn’t anything inherently wrong about these goals, but there
Last year, the sweetest child ever was being adopted by a great couple with great kids. After living with them for over six months, they were considering taking her in. They denied the case. She was unable to permanently live with this great family because she was Indian and the foster couple was not. In Oklahoma, there were fifty-six adoptions in 2015, ages one to seventeen. However, in 2000 there were about 128 adoptions, some being only a few months old, all the way up to seventeen years old (“Statistics”). Non-Indian couples should not only be able to foster but should be able to adopt an Indian child, because the child begins to bond with the temporary family, and the foster family can learn what is necessary for not only fostering
But, in some cases when stress seems to take over I tend to fall into various patterns. One pattern that I have noticed when I am stressed is that I will be more severe and hard on students that are not doing what they are supposed too. I understand that in school you should not be all lovey dovey all the time, but I find myself out of character when stress hits. Another reaction pattern that results from my work stress is the change in my body language. Instead of being loose and charismatic with my body language I almost always tighten up and become stirn. In a way this ends up hurting myself and those around me. In order to make sure that I do not let stress affect those around me I have put in place a couple of coping techniques to thwart stresses evil
When you begin your new career, always remember to conduct yourself in the most professional manner. Keep in mind that you represent your boss as well as the company that you work for. Learning how to deal with stress is important. Some people can thrive on high stress situations and get things accomplished while others don’t deal well with stress.
Being that I am in the military stress in one of the primary barriers I have to overcome on a daily basis. The military is an everchanging job meaning nothing ever stays the same. The constant changes increase the level of stress in the workplace. Rules and regulations govern the military, so I have to follow the directives given by my superiors regardless of my viewpoint. Stress can cause individuals to go into a stage of panic when the demands of the job become to much to handle (Manning & Curtis, 2015). The military is very demanding and requries me to work long without receiving extra pay. My stress level is always high because working more extended hours means less time I have to spend with my family.
Many believe that stress is a simple problem, however it is often misunderstood and more complex than they believe (p. 181, Griffin & Moorhead, 2014). Stress is the physiological and psychological response to excessive and usually unpleasant stimulation as well as threatening events in the environment (p. 284, Schultz and Schultz, 2010). Stress appears in silent and subtle ways but this negative response affects millions of employees in all levels of all types of jobs (p. 284, Schultz and Schultz, 2010). If identified
Stress is a part of everyday life and as such is a part of all organisations. Cole in his 2004 book ‘Management Theory and Practice’ describes stress as:

look at the definition of stress and what causes people to have stress. Then we
Stress at work typically is not felt from a single occurrence. The summation of stress occurrences lead to stressors. Stressors are defined as an event or context that elevates levels of adrenaline forcing a physical or mental response. There typically is a "straw that broke the camels back" philosophy that builds negative stress (Bauer and Erdogan page 138). Furthermore, our world is rapidly changing. The world becoming a global economy, rapidly changing technology, and increased competition between business is changing roles and expectations. Negative stress is often the result of a combination of undefined roles, rapidly changing technology, group, family, and social influences.
The world population is excessively on the rise making people hard to find a job for a living so that almost every job in this highly competitive world is increasingly stressful, so can anyone find a job that has no stress? Perhaps, the answer for this question is always no because stress actually comes from many causes whether people like it or not. For example, stress comes from bosses, colleagues, compensation, and jobs’ pressure. Stress mostly depends on what types of jobs. There are many types of jobs that are stressful, but people often think about the top three stressful jobs such as police officers, airline pilots, and firefighters.
It is critical to understand important stress management skills. If stress is not dealt with, it can result in a burnout, or perhaps worse, "People who experience high levels of anxiety are four to five times more likely to die of a heart attack or stroke" (Morrison
