Provide specific details By realizing the potential of environmental and personal factors as causes of stress, I am able to bring out positive attributes in my many roles (student, father, husband and worker) and responsibility. The next step for me was to channel these roles into a stressor and use them as motivators to not only deal with stress but to improve outcomes in each of my roles. I have found that time management is a strength that I possess based on my personality trait. As a result I have used my time management skills to prioritize and manage the demands of each of my roles. I also make time every day to relax with my kids by going for a swim or a walk to the mall to create a diversion from the potential stressors I face every day. My network of friends on Facebook and Twitter are also great stress relievers that I have used to manage stress at school and work.
