SOS-320 The Management of Stress and Tension

Questions:

Through self-reflection and studying how stressors impact the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, you have learned a great deal about yourself and about the management of stress. In addition, you explored different coping and relaxation techniques.

Now, it is time to write your own Personal Stress Reduction Plan. You have already addressed much of the work for this plan in this course; this assignment is meant to pull it together in a way that is useful for you to implement.

For the final project, you will develop a PowerPoint or Google Slide presentation and record yourself presenting it using Kaltura Capture. The presentation will consist of 10 to 15 slides along with a picture of yourself in the corner. The presentation should be no less than 8 minutes and no longer than 15 minutes.

The following is required for your slides: Title slide Introduction Conclusion References slide Minimum of citations from two reputable sources. You may want to consult the Information Literacy link under Writing and Research Resources below.

To see some tips you should follow when developing your presentation slides, Presentation Slides Tips. In your presentation, refer to specific work from the course, such as completed exercises, discussions, and/or previous assignment reflections.

Include the following information in your final project, using appropriate headings:

One can experience several stressors; however, for the purposes of this plan, it is important to prioritize. Identify the single most important area or stressor in your personal life that needs attention right now and explain why you prioritized this stressor.

Reflect on and discuss how managing your priority issue will have an effect on other areas of your life. This gets at the relationship between stressors. You might consider making a diagram showing the relationship;

Capture a picture of the diagram and insert it into your presentation.Use theory and evidence to explain how addressing this issue will impact you from a holistic perspective (body, mind, emotions, and spirit).

How will things be different if you address this area in your life?

What strategies might you use to address this area? Address coping, relaxation, and lifestyle. Use theory and evidence from the literature to support your strategies, as well as what you learned from implementing these strategies during Modules 2 and 3.

In addition to identifying the strategies, discuss how and when they will be used with a rationale. For example, you may have found one of the relaxation techniques or lifestyle changes particularly helpful and decide how to make it part of your daily routine. Or, one of the coping strategies may only be appropriate in certain situations.

Developing and including a schedule may be a way to keep you on track. What are some potential blocks to success? Explain. What actions can you take to address these blocks?

Students communicate their ideas effectively orally using multiple modes of communication, as appropriate.

Your work on this assignment should reflect your ability to: Articulate a central message consistent with the supporting material. Convey an observable organizational pattern (specific introduction and conclusion, sequenced material within the body, and transitions) within the presentation.

Use supporting materials (e.g., explanations, examples, illustrations, statistics, analogies, and quotations from relevant authorities) and reference information or analyses that support the presentation or establish credibility/authority on the topic.

Make language choices that support the effectiveness of the presentation and are appropriate to the audience. Use delivery techniques (e.g., posture, gesture, eye contact, and vocal expressiveness) that make the presentation interesting.
