List three events or experiences you have had in the past three months that you did not handle as well as you would have liked and, as a result, caused you extra stress. Examples: fight with a friend or parent; doing poorly on a school assignment; challenges at home ( such as siblings)

For each experience, consider the following:

• How did I feel?

• Why did I feel this way?

• Why did I act in a certain way? What prompted me to act like that?

• What does this tell me about myself? What can I learn from this situation?

• If I am in this situation again, what would I do the same and what would I do differently?

• How would this change help to manage your stress in a positive way?
