Stress Analysis Paper: Suggested Format
This is your assessment/analysis of your top 3 stressors. Focus on areas that need improvement. You began this assignment with LAB 2.2 at the end of Chapter 2. Simply expand that discussion to discuss areas in your life that need improvement…you can discover this from the questions in the assessments. State your scores in the paper, but more importantly focus on particular questions that hit home for you. You should also discuss strengths that you discovered from completing the questions from Ch. 2. You can also choose your stressors from Sources of Stress, in Chapter One.
The format can be:
I. Introduction: List your top 3 stressors and state how you decided on them.
II. Analysis and Discussion
A. Stressor 1. school
B. Stressor 2. work
C. Stressor 3. relationships
Make a separate heading and write an analysis and discussion for Stressor 1, 2, 3, 4. Address how your stressors are currently affecting your life. Try to include or reference the Five Dimensions of Holistic Health from Chapter One: Physical, Intellectual, Social, Emotional, and SPIRITUAL b stating how these areas of your life are affected..
III. Conclusion, Summary, and Reflection
What have you learned about yourself?
What relationships, if any, do your stressors have with each other?
What do I need to change? (just generally, with no details). The details will be provided in your last paper: Action Planning
So this paper is a snapshot of the stress you are now feeling. You may find that it feels good once you get it out there, on paper.
