Chapter 4 Blog
p. 139 Learning to Cope
A problem that I struggle with is math. I have always had a difficult time in math and I put off the subject for as long as I could, until I finally had to take it this semester and last. Now that I am taking math classes, I find that I put off my homework until the last minute to avoid the stress and frustration, which inevitably makes it worse.
When I avoid doing my math homework I feel anxious, embarrassed, and stupid
When I cope I feel confident, intelligent, and proud.
Coping with the problem makes me feel better about myself . I can begin coping with this problem by setting suspension dates for my homework a day earlier than the homework is due and sticking to them! I can also work on my homework for 1 hour each day, rather than waiting and cramming it all in over a 3 hour period.
