We chose to do the Stress Reduction Plan technique because we wanted to see it will help us to recognize that we can control our stress levels by doing the activities listed. When we chose to do one of the following things, like working out in the gym, not only we were reducing stress, we were enjoying the activity. To adapt to this technique, we had to list out every activity according to each category and try them out. We thought it was easy, because we really enjoy doing these activities when stressed out.We realized sometimes we need to reduce our stress from academics by shifting our minds to something else.

We chose to do the Stress Diagram technique because we wanted to prioritize the causes for our stress and identify the issues we needed to address first. To adapt to this technique, we had to list the sources of stress and divide the pie chart into sections that corresponded to the list of sources. It was really helpful to visually where our stress came from, and we were able to know which stress to reduce first by taking an action to fix it. If we did this everyday, we will be able to reduce our stress immensely. We can also reduce stress by doing the ranking the priorities technique as well.
