In my life, I experience both eustress and distress. Eustress, the stress that motivates us to do something worth while or move towards a goal, is represented in many ways. The first symbol of eustress is my report card. School is very stressful because the hard work and amount of time it takes. However, it will benefit us later on in our lives through the income that we will make. Golf and basketball are also symbols of eustress that I used. These activities take a lot of time and are physically challenging, but they make me a more rounded person. The picture of a dog is under eustress because I have learned responsibility from taking care of one. The boy represents a family member. This family member is annoying and makes it hard to study. Because of him I have taught myself better study habits and began to use time management skills that I never had to think about before. My job, car and money cause some stress in my life, but without them I couldn't do the things I wanted and would be solely dependent on my parents. Under distress, the non-productive stress, I have used smoking and alcohol because there is no advantage from doing either, but they still appear in my life and cause stressful situations that involve things like peer pressure. The demerit card and the cars running into each other are things that have gotten me into trouble caused stress in my life. The fights that I have been in, both verbally and physically, have left me in stress because I have ...
