Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

An example of a stressor could be a looming deadline at work. The event is the deadline itself, and the self-talk could be thoughts like "I'll never get this done in time" or "I'm not good enough to handle this project." As the deadline approaches and the pressure mounts, these negative self-talk patterns can intensify, leading to increased feelings of anxiety, worry, and self-doubt. This is how a stressor evolves into a source of stress - the combination of the external event and our internal dialogue creates a heightened sense of pressure and overwhelm. Over time, if not managed effectively, this can lead to chronic stress, which can have a negative impact on our physical and mental well-being. It's important to recognize the role of both the external stressor and our internal self-talk in order to effectively manage and reduce stress in our lives.
