A) Referring to the two studies you chose, either from the list below or ones you located on your own, consider how the findings relate to your own situation and personal stress levels.

Can you learn anything from the conclusions of either study that you can apply in your own life?

i. How Stress Influences Disease: Study Reveals Inflammation as the Culprit

ii. How to Predict Who Will Suffer the Most From Stress

iii. Stress Changes How People Make Decisions

B) Summarize different ways in which you can minimize or manage stress in order to support your personal or career goals. Draw from resources you reviewed throughout the course. Approach this milestone as an opportunity to reflect upon and apply what you learn this week and as an opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise based on your educational and professional experiences in the past. As a successful professional, you will need good reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills. Review this tutorial for information on creating a Blackboard journal entry. Journals are private between the student and the instructor.
