a. Which ineffective or unhealthy coping strategies did you set out to change and why?
b. Which stress-relief techniques did you try during the week? Are any of them new for you? Which ones were most effective?
c. How much do you think stress affects you in your current life at college? Do you feel like you have it under control or not? If not, what else might you do to reduce your stress level?
