As a college student, you are probably very familiar with stress. As noted in your textbook, life is filled with events or situations that produce stress—potential stressors. Think back to times when you felt distressed by the stress in your life; was it helpful? Did it serve a purpose? Now think back to times when you believe that stress was useful and served an important role in your success (e.g., studying for your final exam). The goal of this activity is to not only identify sources of stress, but to also provide strategies for dealing more effectively with it.
