3). Pick one concept or idea from this week's assigned
reading and discuss it. Be sure to relate the concept/idea to your
personally by using examples from your life and/or experiences.
To address this question, I decided to discuss hyperstress.
Reading about this concept almost made me laugh because even right this moment,
I am experiencing hyperstress, which occurs when we are overloaded with so many
responsibilities that we are unable to keep up with them all. In my life, the
major contributors to my hyperstess are school, my house, and my day-to-day
responsibilities as a parent. After I finish this post, I have many other
chores waiting for my attention. One of the positive feature of hyperstess is
that it goes away after the causes have been eliminated. I often feel immediate relief after I have
accomplished all of the responsibilities that I have for any given period of
time. Unfortunately, it is usually short-lived. That being said, I have also
experienced overblown conflict and have over-reacted to conflicts in the past.
Luckily, I am always conscious of the fact that I am over-reacting because I am
stressed out, which helps me to retain a more grounded perspective.
