Lowering My Anxiety Levels

 

            Working full time and going to school full time are very hard on me. It has been something I have learned to deal with in many different ways. My parents always told me to deal with anxiety responsibly. One of my coping mechanisms is playing video games. My father teaching me how to cook is a good way to deal with strain in my life. My favorite mechanism is to play sports. The last way I deal with tension is to call up my grandmother and vent to her. Being able to alleviate stress safely and healthfully will always make dealing with life easier. First off, I am not a morning person. That is why I work the third shift and take all night classes. When I am strained, I like to play video games. I do not like to do things by myself, and playing video games online late at night lets me unwind from all the stress at work. I am very content with playing video games to relieve my stress because it also sharpens my critical thinking skills when I play online against really good players.
             My father always cooked the meals in my house. He always told me that the reason he learned how to cook was to deal with the stress of working sixty hours a week. He told me that cooking your own meal is not only satisfying, but helps bring down your anxiety level immensely. My favorite dish to cook is chicken parmesan. For some reason whenever I cook this dish I feel really relieved. In addition, my favorite way to relieve stress has always been playing sports. It does not matter what sport it is. I am a very competitive person and when I play a sport it relieves any tension I have. My favorite sport to play is baseball. Just hearing the ball hit the wooden bat would instantly relieve any stress in my mind and body,.
             Lastly, I always call my grandmother to vent when I am stressed out. She has always been able to calm me down and say the right things to me. She has always been my role model and I look up to her for everything.
