The Importance Of Being Stress Free

Decent Essays
In the beginning of summer, 2016, I was a slug. I didn't want to hang with friends, go outside, or even do physical activity. It was like I just wanted to be in a cave forever. This feeling of not doing anything was overwhelming and wouldn't let me get up from bed, even if I was bored to death. I didn't even have the drive to eat food! The struggle went on for a week or two until I told myself I'm not gonna be a cave dweller, I want to do something. I got up and went to the gym. This turned my world upside down, in a good way. I started going on the daily, and I started hanging with my friends more too. The day I went to the gym it turned on a switch that I couldn't find. Ever since then i've been striving to push myself the best I can be. …show more content…
All throughout my life I have been a slacker. I was someone who would do the homework the class before it was due, or sometimes not even do it. My grades were free falling due to my lack of effort. The stress was to much for me and it was my fault to. So I actually began to do homework. This commitment didn't just start by itself. Because believe me I tried before but I couldn't push myself. This commitment was helped by going to the gym, which kick started a lot of new healthy habits. Doing my homework before the day it's due or even several days before really takes a lot more stress off your …show more content…
Until I found three commitments that change me forever. I started going to the gym, pushing myself, and then my friends started to go with me. I started eating better food, feeling better, having more energy, and put my freind on a diet and he lost 15 pounds in a month. Also I learned it's better to do tasks when you have the chance instead of waiting till the last minute. Not only did my commitments affect me in a positive way but people I know followed my footsteps. I think everybody should try something out of their comfort zone and push themselves. With these commitments I hope to be a more social, energetic, stress less, hardworking

    I started attending Lone star college right after high school, at first, I began with the typical high school graduate state of mind, which was that college was going to be a breeze and that it would all be fun and games; more worried about what was going on in my social life rather than studying the books. Especially since I had no real responsibilities to handle or much life experience. Around my first year of college, I started dating this girl and not long after we conceived our first son. Once this happened, my focus slowly shifted from school to working a full-time job at a welding shop in order to provide for my family. I still tried to attend class but was unable to find the balance between work, school and family and this reflected my grades.…

    First, the laziness hit and you can’t seem to bring yourself to get out of bed and no one can say anything that will bring you out of this “funk”. Every single day I can remember my mom banging on my door and telling me to get up after my alarm had already gone off but it was like my body was refusing to get out of bed and I couldn’t bring myself to make that first step. When I finally brought myself to get out of bed I would take my sweet time taking a shower and getting ready and then I would end up being late to school. When I got to school, I’d pull in my assigned parking spot and slowly walk into class and sit down in the very back and slouch in my chair. When the teacher would ask for volunteers I would try and not make eye contact just to avoid getting up.…

    The biggest change I have made this semester is taking on a creator mindset/attitude. You could ask anyone that knows me and they would say I have a pessimistic attitude. I would always joke and say I’m a pessimist because I’m either right or I’m pleasantly surprised. Simple having the negative thoughts floating around in my head constantly has certainly been a dead weight holding me down.…

    Stressed lifestyle and personality are some of the psychological factors that influence health and behaviour in our lives. However, our response to stressors determines our ability to control and manage or develop illness out of the stress. “Stress is experienced when a person’s perceived environmental, social, and physical demands exceed their perceived ability to cope, particularly when these demands are seen as endangering the person’s well-being in some way” (Cardwell & Flanagan, 2012). Walter Cannon’s (1932) fight or flight response elaborates the correlation between arousal and stress as due to the survival mechanisms that evolve in homosepian. According to Sarafino stress comprises of two components: the stressors, stimuli that make…

    Two years ago I was a completely different person. That may sound like a complete exaggeration, but looking back on the person who carried my name two years ago, it is shockingly true. Two years ago, I was the quiet, overweight, anxious girl who avoided social interaction as if it was the plague. Needless to say, I was not the most confident or outgoing person out there. I let my anxiety disorder rule my life, and let my weight be an excuse as to why I couldn’t do certain things.…

    For some students, choosing to attend college after high school is an easy decision. Some are expected by their families to continue into higher education post high school graduation. I know a few people that are so motivated to attend college that they already know for sure what they are going to major in before they were even freshmen in high school.
