1). After reading Chapter 7 in its entirety, answer the following question: Look at your work and school commitments. How might you apply each of the "three solutions" to improve how you feel about your job and school?
Each of the three solutions are designed
to help us manage stress. The first solution is to approach each task with a
positive attitude. If we feel like they are tasks that we want to complete,
then we will not feel so negative about doing them. The second solution
suggests that we treat work as a game. This way work is fun or more like play
than work. The third and final solution is all about combining work with play.
Instead of trying to turn your work into play, integrate it into play. When it
comes to school, homework and tests are often a negative task for me, so I
really do try to come at them with a positive attitude. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn’t. I have never been successful at turning homework or
quizzes into games or play but I have had success integrating them into play.
Mostly television. I have always worked better when I watch something that I
enjoy while I do homework. This way, I can relax and enjoy my time but also get
work done. In some ways this makes it hard because it takes me a lot longer
because I am distracted, but I tend to be less stressed in the end.
When it comes to my job, I do not
really get stressed because I am currently working as a coach and typically, my
work is play.
