You may not know what is causing your stress, exactly how your body responds to stress, or how you cope with stress. To find out, use a journal to keep track of each time you feel stressed. Write down:

* What may have triggered the stress. Guess if you aren't sure.
* How you felt and behaved in response to the stressful situation (symptoms of stress).
* What, if anything, you did to cope with the stressful situation.
