Valued students, after reading the announcement and viewing the course materials for this week, kindly take some time to think about, and then speak to the following. Just reply to this thread.
- What are some positive aspects of stress (i.e. "eu-stress")? What are some adverse aspects of stress (i.e. "dis-stress")?
-Name at least four ways in which dis-stress can have a negative impact upon health and well-being.
-Then, name at least four coping strategies for dealing with stress. In other words, what are some ways in which you can "make stress your friend" as Dr. McGonigal shares in her video (in other words, turn "dis-stress" in to "eu-stress")?
-Now, to change directions. After you've looked at all of the different Divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA), which one did you find the most interesting - and why?
