Describe stress, what is the fight or flight response? Explain thoughts and behaviors that increase this.
Stress can be described as demands on time, energy, or resources with an element of threat. Flight or flight response is the physiologic reaction to a real or imagined threat from emotions of both fear and anger, this is the body's way of preparing for “danger”. Thought and behaviors that can increase this include being woken up from a deep sleep, missed deadlines, loss of self-esteem, poor test results, loss of friendship, over commitment, inability to set personal limits.
Stress is only a physical reaction to exercise. The fight or flight response is the body's way of preparing for sleep. Thoughts and behaviors that increase this include eating healthy and regular exercise.
Stress is a positive feeling that always leads to better performance. The fight or flight response is unrelated to emotions. Thoughts and behaviors that increase this include meditation and relaxation.
Stress is a rare condition that affects only a few people. The fight or flight response is a myth. Thoughts and behaviors that increase this include having a balanced lifestyle.
Describe "worry" and how one can overcome worry. What are survival techniques?
Worry can be described as time and energy spent concerned for things over which we have little or no control. We can overcome worrying by remembering that most things we worry about might never happen and are out of our control or can even sometimes be things that don't concern us. Some survival techniques can be following a checklist to anticipate the degree of control you have over the situation for example “it probably will not happen, It will turn out better than expected, taking action can change the outcome, it is not my concern, i have no control over the outcome, and am i making a mountain out of a molehill”.
Worry is a positive emotion that helps us solve all our problems instantly. Survival techniques include ignoring problems and hoping they disappear.
Worry is only experienced by children and can be overcome by eating healthy food. Survival techniques involve sleeping more and avoiding all responsibilities.
Worry is a sign of weakness and can be overcome by pretending it doesn't exist. Survival techniques include blaming others for your problems.
