Recommended: Literature review of stress management

Alan Jackson presents an excellent way to live life: “laid back ‘n low key.” Taking this approach to life, I rarely worry or stress about anything. I am not saying I simply let things happen. When presented with a potentially stressful situation, I do not allow it to disconcert me, but instead I approach it with the attitude that I will do my best, and leave it at that, not worrying about if I am good enough or what might be the outcome. We should do our part in all pursuits and then be done with it, do not waste energy fretting. With the perspective demonstrated by “Laid Back ‘N Low Key,” my life is noticeably more tranquil, enjoyable, and healthy. My easy going attitude makes daily life more tranquil. At times, I have found myself to be completely oblivious to the stresses of my peers. They incessantly worry about grades, GPA, class rank, test scores, and what colleges with accept them. Indeed, I do see the importance of these things, and I do my best in them, but I do …show more content…

I enjoy things many people cannot enjoy due to stress. Recently, my sister Jenna and I watched a film both of us had been wanting to see. Throughout the runtime of the movie, I was engrossed in the intriguing plot on the screen, my sister, however, was not.

Jenna spent the entire two hours of the movie brooding about her upcoming college applications and dance competition, causing her to miss the engaging movie. If she subscribed to my nonchalant manner this would not have been the case.

Rabindranath Tagore states that “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” This quote is comparing to life as in you can’t do anything exciting or achieve anything in life by not doing anything and not taking chances in life or try new things.

Usually in life, it is best for anyone to take a step back to the past and look at the big picture. No one could flatter himself that he is immune to the changes around him. Moreover, with all the demands that life can put on a person, sometimes it is easy to lose the essence of “me”. By losing this essence, the person could develop either a better version or a worse version of himself. Looking back at the beginning of this year (freshman year), I have been just that young soul eager to meet life’s challenges especially culture changing challenges.

I self-reflect quite often, and one thing about me I am aware of is that I am certainly not a stressful person. This very fact has gotten me out of trouble; and into it on several occasions. People, especially a few teachers, have told me that this would eventually lead to my downfall. That my lack of sense of urgency would come to haunt me. I looked inside myself and knew that they were right, and objectively I knew that that fact was true and their prediction inevitable.

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it” Sydney J Harris. When people are constantly busy that’s the best time to relax and take time off to replenish the brain and body.

Many people are faced with challenging situations each day, but it is up to that person on how he or she will go about facing those challenges. I wish it can be said that each challenge a person face will bring something positive in their life. Challenges may come and go in all shapes, sizes, or colors. A person may feel as if their world is bright as a yellow sun one day and dark gray as a stormy night the next day, and that may be the important turning point when that challenge turn into a crisis. “Crisis occurs when more change or adjustment is required of an individual than he or she is capable of at the time” (Servellen,248).
