This is the first week of beginning health behavior change, due to the fact that last week was such a challenge week full of emotions and physical strains I decided to begin the journey on finding new ways to reduce my stress. Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned, as week one progressed I continuously felt overwhelmed and pressured, there was no progress being made. I started noticing this when I kept denying I was not even stress, the first step to even begin this change was to at least accept my behavior. This first week I told myself I would write in my planner to get myself more organized. I would dedicate a maximum of 15 minutes a day. As the week continued, I did not seem to find the time to write in my planner, or even if I had the time I would avoid it at all means necessary. This brought even more overwhelming stress because I was forgetting due dates and had last minute assignments that I was giving my full potential at. With this being said, I was at a level four of my goal attainment and was causing myself more stress than reducing it.
