Instructions

We all experience stress in our lives, and it is unlikely that most of the stressors we encounter will go away. What we can control is how we react to stressors, which can in turn help diminish the effect stress has on our health. Watch the video below and write a brief response essay to the questions that follow.

Write 2-3 paragraphs discussing the following questions. As you consider each, think about including information that is most relevant and helpful to you. 

• What are some of the stressors you encounter in your everyday life? 
• What strategies do you use to cope with them? What strategies have you learned about in this unit that you intend to try? 
• Thinking about the theories of emotion you've learned about in this unit, how might you use that knowledge to deal with negative emotions that occur in stressful situations? 

Submit your response in APA format. You are not required to use sources, but if you do reference any research, you should cite your sources. Your assignment will be graded based on the Written Assignment Rubric.
