Stress and Goal Setting Worksheet
Part 1: Stress
1. Stress Score Reflection
After completing the "How Stressed Are You?" activity, I received a score of 68, indicating a moderate level of stress. I believe this score accurately reflects my current stress levels considering my coursework, job responsibilities, and personal life. Some symptoms I exhibit include headaches, occasional insomnia, and irritability, all suggesting my stress is more than I might like to admit (American Psychological Association, 2021).
2. Life Changes and Stress Reduction
Right now, I am experiencing significant changes, such as taking on a heavier course load and difficulties in personal relationships. To reduce my stress, I plan to prioritize self-care through activities such as meditation, exercise, and proper time management. Engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to alleviate stress (Cramer et al., 2019), providing an effective distraction from daily pressures.

Some potential barriers include procrastination and time mismanagement. To overcome these challenges, I will adhere to a strict schedule and utilize productivity tools such as the Pomodoro Technique, which encourages regular breaks to enhance focus (Cirillo, 2006). Additionally, I plan to seek support from classmates to maintain accountability.
