The Effects Of Stress On Your Health

In her speech, Sonia Sotomayor emphasizes family values and highlights cultural differences to make her identity as a New York Puerto Rican unique. Sotomayor reflects on emotional childhood memories in her speech. She says “[her] soul was nourished when [she] visited and played at [her] grandmother's house with [her] cousins and extended family” (Lines 33-35). Sotomayor's ideas of Puerto Rican culture stem from her memories with family. Her family experiences shaped not only her identity, but also her perspective of her culture.

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

Currently I am enrolled in 8 classes, and/or pursuing 19 hours of credit as a first year semester student. I also am apart of two extracurricular activities on campus. I often times find myself frustrated that I did not interpret the wise words of Dr. Burnett, “The choices that you make course by course, semester by semester determine what your final outcome will be.” as words of urgency and direction. I am not sure why I felt that I needed to be “superwoman” and put all of those things on my plate. However as a result of my aspirations for the “superwoman” complex, I have

People are increasingly facing more stress since the Human-Being society became developed and complicated, by ignoring the physical influence to our body, Human’s health suffered considerably from stress. Many people was suggested to solve the stress problem by using psychological approaches, however, the research in recent decades has identified a significant awareness gap between the benefits of physical activities and stress relief. The following paper is aiming at exploring how stress affects physical health and how to relieve stress physically.

Society defines stress as anything which forces us to change. Through technical terms stress is defined as “a negative emotional state occurring in response to events that are perceived as taking or exceeding a person’s resources or ability to cope.” To explaining stress researchers came up with the “Cognitive appraisal model”, this system works to tell us whether we believe we have enough resources to deal with the situation without becoming stressed. For instance as a now college student those who have had previous experience taking finales in high school can have less stress than those who have not taken it. This is because they have previous experience with taking the tests and learning how to study while those who have never taken one can become extremely stressed over the unknown of the test. Stress is one of the sub branches that is attached to the world of health psychology. Health psychology is a quickly growing branch that deals with the way the mind and body work together. Psychologists that work in the health field came up with the biopsychosocial model. This model explains the complex interaction with biological, psychological, and social factors.

Stress is very well known for just what it means: STRESS. Its effect on human beings from a local and a global standpoint is far greater than any of us imagine. Stress can overtake one’s body physically, mentally, emotionally, as well as behavioral aspects. This is not something to take lightly. This is actually very serious. If you notice, it’s not just older people that die this day and time with heart attacks, suicide, and things of this nature. People of all ages. Older people, younger people, and even really young people. Children, yes, I said children. Don’t automatically think that stress only affects older people that have lived a longer

Using some simple time management skills can give the student the ability to complete tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Insufficient communication between myself and the school also crippled my studies. Over this course, I’ve learned to excel as a student the importance of new time management skills. The transition although stressful is exciting and eye opening. It's a completely different experience versus the typical college classes I was involved in when I enrolled in traditional college after high school. I will admit I am disappointed in myself this course for falling behind, being side tracked I’m unsure how far behind I’ve become. There’s one thing this has taught me and that’s discipline with my schedule because I find it's easy to get

Many people wish to finish as many classes as they can before college. Instead of taking an advanced class during college, many students want to get the classes out of the way and take it with a teacher that cares about if they pass or fail. For example, most of my schedule is full of more advanced classes. I take these classes so I will not have to

when I was a high school student I had help with time management from my supportive study class when I got to college I thought would be able to do things on my own it was hard for me switching from assistant to being on my own for the first time own I look back at the classes I choose for my first semester I wish I had chosen classes that would have ease me into college because it was hard for me to get to college life right away when I signed up for my second semester classes I step back and take a look at what I was doing as well as I hope during the second semester I dropped the class due to the fact that I was not doing well I believe that if I drop a class I could focus on another my grades were very good at the end but one was still

Time, money, and schedule are all against you when you are trying taking classes. Having a family, a full time job that requires long hours, long commute, and lots of attention, makes studying, completing assignments, and quizzes a lot harder than I thought it would be, but with the investment already placed (money and time), giving up is not an option, giving up will be stepping backwards and not achieving the desired goal. It is taking a big toll on me, but I have to believe it will only be beneficial at the end of it.

Johann Gutenberg was a German man, who’s parents owned a mint shop when he was a child. He most likely learned how to work with metal here. Books at the time were very rare. Because there was no such thing as printing, monks had to copy books by hand which often took longer than a year and included mistakes made by the monks. Most of the books were only available to monks and scholars. In Gutenberg’s spare time, he began working on the printing press. He made sure to keep the idea a secret too, he didn’t want anyone to steal it from him. To make the printer, Gutenberg had made metal pieces shaped into letters. Several of those letters were then pressed into a frame to spell out words, sentences and paragraphs. The letters, covered in ink would

A substantial amount of Canadians experience stress in their lives. In fact, nearly one-quarter of the population over the age of 15 are stressed on a daily basis (Statistics Canada, 2013). Stress can be defined as a mental and emotional state of tension, in which one perceives the environment around them to be strenuous and overwhelming. Although some stress is necessary for survival, it can adversely affect both the physical and mental health. Its detrimental effects include but are not limited to: lack of confidence, concentration, motivation, decision making and increased heartrate, sweating, tension, as well as other physical and psychological problems such as headaches and insomnia (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2015). These health complications strongly emphasize the need for further research in ways to cope with, and reduce stress. Henceforth, the purpose of this paper is to use established research to better understand stress, then propose my own study that would investigate another stress-reduction method.

Now that I have completed Pathways to lifelong learning, I have come to realize that the extreme stress I endured as mentioned earlier was due to my poor time management skills as well as my poor stress management. I

Psychological stress is pressure placed on a person to adapt, cope, or adjust to a situation (Rathus, 2016, p.284). The result of prolonged stress can affect a person’s mood, pleasure experience, and have harmful effects on physical health (Rathus, 2016, p.284). Society in the twenty first century places high demands on people. Technology makes it very difficult to separate work life, school life, and home life. Today, society places a high value on a busy lifestyle for individuals. For example, many places of business are open twenty-four hours a day. In addition to societal pressures, attending a university adds to the stressors a person may experience. Going to school not only includes classroom time but it also includes homework,

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. One example of technology in the ancient world is the invention of the clock in Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians were some of the first to find a way to keep time. Some forms of timekeeping involved sundials, shadow clocks, merkhets, water clocks and obelisks. Obelisks were built as far back as 3500 BCE and Egyptian sundials as far back as 1500 BCE.
