After i completed the Life Stress Inventory, Coping Management Skills Questionnaire and the Type A Personality Survey. It taught me many things about how i handle stress in my life. My life stress inventory score was under 15o, which shows that i have a fairly low chance of undergoing stress related health problems in the future. These results made sense to me because even though i’m very busy with school, work and athletics, I feel like i do a great job managing my responsibilities in a way that limit stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Type A Personality Suvey score was 56\/100, which put me in the mix of both Type A and Type B personality traits. This also made sense to me as i can see both sides of this in myself and don’t feel like i lean one side or the other. As a student athlete at Oregon State, i consider myself to b very goal orientated, competitive, and motivated to succeed. At the same time, i don’t really feel in a rush or overwhelmed and tend to remain calm when faced with challenges. The results from this test showed me that while ambition can be a great strength, it’s important to avoid letting competitiveness create unnecessary stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that as i advance into my professional career path, i can manage stress by maintaining healthy habits like exercise, sleep, and setting realistic priorities. Working out has always been a big part of my life and a stress reliever. I think by continuing to make this a priority, it will help limit stress in my life. I also believe that time management and maintaining a healthy work\/life balance is key to limiting stress as my responsibilities in life continue to increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many organizations that recognize the impact stress can have on a employees health and productivity. More companies continue to add Employee Assistance Programs, mental health counseling, wellness initiatives, flexible work schedules, and stress management training. For example, the business my dad works for just implemented a program that allowed employees to work from home 2 days a week and does wellness checks. Research shows that stress can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and burnout. If organizations invest in employee wellbeing, they can improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover, and create a healthier workplace. I think that these kinds of programs benefit both employees and employers, as they help workers be more productive, engaged, and physically healthy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
