    Psychology Question

    Student’s Name

    Institutional Affiliation

    Date
    I have found out that I have a couple of stressors after weekly recording on the stress

    management journal. To begin with, I found out that uncertainties are a huge stressor to me. Not

    knowing what to expect from an occurrence leads to anxiety that eventually leads to stress. Some

    uncertainties include not knowing exam outcomes, setting expectations on relationships with

    others, and having a fear not to fail in everything I do so as not to disappoint my parents. I also

    found out that I have a problem with forgetting things. I forget simple things as where I kept my

    phone, where I kept my keys, a meeting I was to have with a friend, to important things such as

    official appointments. Being forgetful affects my daily schedules since I waste time looking for

    things I have forgotten about, to my relationships with others. Mt friends sometimes think that I

    did not want to hang out with them. I remember one incident where one of my friends called me

    out and said if I do not want to be involved with some events, I should just say it rather than

    claim I forgot about it.

    I have however found a couple of stress management techniques that have been very

    effectful. To begin with, I have found out that breathing in and out helps me reduce anxiety for

    short periods of time. I have found out that having a deep breath in, holding my breath for a

    second or two followed by another breath in then letting all the air out helps with the anxiety. I

    also found out that I enjoy developing mandalas. Doing so makes me forget about issues that

    were stressing me out and have a time to only exist in the moment. To assist me deal with

    forgetting, I usually keep reminders which notify me of important things I need to do. I also keep

    a to do list. I have also started to ensure that I get enough sleep of about seven to eight hours a

    day.
