Unit VI Reflection Paper

Throughout this unit, you have learned that certain links exist between emotions, motivation, and stress. In fact, if one

does not handle his or her stress effectively, numerous health issues could arise.

For this assignment, you are to compose a two-page reflection paper in which you examine a current or former stressful

event in your life. You must embrace Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS), and describe your reactions to the

stressful event during each stage. Be sure that you recount the various facial expressions that you displayed as you

progressed through each stage as well. What coping strategies did you embrace to help solve the problem? Additionally,

how was your professional work impacted by the stressor? Furthermore, did you experience additional conflicts with other

individuals as you endured this life trial?

You must effectively examine each of the areas listed above. Furthermore, you may visit the CSU Online Library to

identify a source that provides specific information on how this stressful issue could impact your health, future goals, and

motivation. You must at least integrate the textbook as a source.

Tips for writing your Reflection Paper:

ï‚· Introduction: This is meant to give a concise overview of the featured stressful event and is usually one paragraph

in length. In your introduction, you will reveal the featured stressful event that you will examine for this paper.

ï‚· Summary: This contains your description of the required areas listed above in the opening statement, including

Selye’s GAS, your facial expressions, coping strategies, professional impact, and relationship conflicts.

ï‚· Analysis: In this portion of the paper, you should provide information from the textbook and an additional source

identified from the CSU Library to analyze the impact that the stressful event could have placed upon your health,

future goals, and motivation.

ï‚· Conclusion: This summarizes your final reflections for the featured topic. For instance, what implications have you

uncovered during your research that you will apply to future stressful events?

Note: Do not forget to double space your response and use Times New Roman 12 pt. font. This written assignment

should have a cover page, two full pages of content in which you organize the four sections of the reflection based on the

guidelines as listed above, and a references page. You are required to utilize the textbook and it should be included on

your references page along with any additional sources you may have used. You should also have accompanying in-text

citations for each source that you have used throughout your response.
