• Identify what you consider to be the most significant sources of stress in adult life and the most relevant and effective stress management tools and methods; include comments on factors such as nutrition, exercise, cognitive appraisal, heredity, work, family, etc.
• From this reflection, formulate and describe examples of stress management strategies you might share with an adult client to manage sources of stress and enhance wellness.
• Share one example of an area in which you would like to make a change to better manage your own stress and enhance your wellness.
