Learning Journal # 3

In this learning module/ Chapters 3 and 4, I have learned about managing stress and everything that goes along with that, and the emotional wellness of a person and how important that is. When it comes to stress it is very important to learn what it really is and find good ways to deal with is because stress can kill, and stress can lead to alot of other illness and disease, and that has been proven true. I did learn alot from the readings in this module, but feel that i have learned everything that i know now from the class discussion, reading all the very usufull info and key points did it for me and taught me alot, i also visited alot of good links that the students in my discussion team posted my favorite one was it deals with college stress and as a student i feel that is a important issue and all students should learn about college stress can it can really do some damage to your body and grades. The online lesson gave some good tips to deal with stress and get you to a good emotional wellness.

In this module I was once again very crunched on time,and i dont feel i put in the time and effort needed to do the best i could, between full time school and full time work, some of my school work suffers. I have been trying very hard to imrove this but have not been so successful yet. I do take all of the instructers comments to mind, and for the next module i am going to try extra hard to get everything done in proper time, and have all work in well before the due dates, so i dont have to rush and can hand in the best work possible.

The definition of stress, i know the word but untill this module i didnt know the true meaning which is a mental tension, stress is a real or interpreted threat to our mind or body that makes us take action. Another word i didnt know untill this lesson was stress factors, and the true defintion of overload.

Here is a active link that deals with stress and how to cope with it i found it to have alot of usefull information.

Learning Hournal # 2

In chapters one and two i learned alot about health and wellness. In chapter one i learned all the different models of health and disease and how everything is achieved. It showed me all the different health models and what they have to do with everything that has to do with health and wellness. In chapter two it got a little more into depth about different parts of the body and what they have to do. Chapter two had alot to deal with religion in health and faith having a strong belief that religion has alot to do with healing which it really does. In this modeul i was very busy and did not have a lot of time to work on everything to get it done in a timely fasion but will try much harder next modeul.
