B. Subjective Questions of Self Management Skills

1. Describe stress and stress management in your own words.

Ans. Stress is our emotional, mental, physical and social reaction to any perceived demands or
threats.
For example, you are too close to the exams but feel unprepared.

Stress Management is about making a plan to be able to cope effectively with daily pressures.
You have to make a suitable plan for your daily life routines so that it would not put hard
pressure on you. If you are not able to manage yourself to the increasing pressure this will led to
stress.

Our main goal is to maintain a balance between life, work, relationships, relaxation and fun. By
doing this, you are able to manage stress-related problems in your daily life
2. List your favourite stress management technique and elaborate on why you find it the most
effective for you.

Ans. The stress management techniques are:

•Time Management - One of my favourite stress management technique and I think this is the
most important one. If we are able to manage time properly then there will be no pressure of
pending work on us.

• Physical exercise and fresh air - Doing yoga, meditation and deep breathing exercises help in
proper blood circulation and relaxes the body. Which will help to become more active.

• Healthy diet - Eating a balanced diet, such as Dal, Roti, vegetables and fruits will give the
strength to do daily work efficiently.

• Positivity - Focussing on negative aspects of life will add more stress. Instead, learn to look at
the good things and stay positive. For example, instead of feeling upset over scoring less in a
test, try to maintain a positive attitude and look at ways to improve the next time.

• Organising academic life - no delaying - By keeping class notes organised, finishing in

assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great
extent.

•Sleep - A good night’s sleep for at least 7 hours helps the brain and body get recharged to
function better the next day.

•Holidays with family and friends - Going to a relative’s place, such as your grandparents’ house
or a new place during your summer vacations can help to break from the normal routine and
come back afresh.
3. What is Goal Setting?

Ans. Goal setting is a process that helps a person to decide where he wants to go in life. This
will help them to decide where to put their efforts to achieve that goal. After deciding the goal or
aim of life one can easily go through the process of achieving it. This gives you the motivation
to work hard.

4. In SMART goals, what does ‘S’ stand for? Explain.

Ans. In SMART goals ‘S’ stands for Specific goal. A specific and clear goal answers six
questions. Who is involved in the goal? What do I want to do? Where do I start? When do I start
and finish? Which means do I use? Why am I doing this? For Example:

Not a specific goal: “I want to become a doctor.”

Specific goal: “I want to become a doctor by studying MBBS after my school gets over. After
getting my MBBS degree I will make a hospital in my village.”

5. What is the best way to work on long-term goals?

6. What is time management and how can you manage your time?

Ans. Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend the hours of your day
well and do all that you want to do.

The steps for effectively managing time are:

Step-1 Organise
• We plan our day-to-day activities.
• We make a timetable that we follow.
• We keep our surroundings and study table clean.
• We put things back where they belong.
• It helps us save time!

Step-2 Prioritise
• We make a to-do list that has all our activities and we rank them in the order of importance.
For example, you may rank doing homework as the most important task. It helps us to get the
most important task done first and also to track what is pending.

Step-3 Control
• We have control over our activities and time.
• We avoid time-wasters like chatting on the phone, surfing gossip sites, etc., and focus on more
important things.

Step-4 Track
• We identify and note where we have spent our time. This will help us analyse if we have used
our time effectively or not. It also helps us to identify time-wasting activities.

7. How can tracking your time help you?

Ans. Tracking your time helps you gain perspective on your life, so you can determine whether
the way you spend your time is true to your priorities and what’s important to you. By tracking
your time you can

• See how many hours you actually work.

• Can separate from the stories you tell yourself.
• Discover what your priorities actually are.
• Time feels richer.
