Both chapter 10 in the textbook and the Weekly Reading (Greenberg, 2013) explore various perception interventions that we can develop to improve our psychological health and reduce, modify and manage the demands on us. These are considered primary prevention methods as they are aimed at transforming our perceptions of these demands as stressors.
After reading both the chapter and the Weekly Reading, your task is to reflect on the following list of topics as discussed in the readings, and find 3 images that represent the three you most identify with in terms of how you deal with stress.
- An attitude of gratitude
- Humor
- Selective ignoring/selective awareness
- Constructive self-talk
- Transformational coping/Hardiness "Decreasing Type A behavior "Learned optimism (hope)
- Self-esteem
- Locus of control
'Correcting cognitive distortion
The 3 images should represent the themes for this week in a meaningful and personal way. You can use images from many sources, including taking photos of your own if you would like to. Upload them one by one (see instructions below) directly into the text editor and not as an attached word document.
Below your images write a posting that explains which topics the images relate to, why you chose the images and how they relate to your life, your perceptions, and your stress management. Make sure your posting demonstrates your reading and understanding of the course material (textbook, Greenberg reading, video, additional sources), and don't forget to cite your sources to show these connections.
