Psychological Stress
Words: 1817 - Pages: 7.... A lot of different events will cause frustration. Frustration occurs from something blocking our
attainment of certain goals or needs (Corey 207). All of the little things that frustrate us include waiting in lines or
traffic, sense of failure or inadequacies, bad relationships, deaths, and loneliness. Self-defeating thoughts are a
way in which we almost deliberately block attainment of our needs. If in our heads, we have this preconceived

Wakeboarding
Words: 602 - Pages: 3.... By the end of that same day I was almost able to jump over the wake. I
have friends who are able to do backflips, so this gives me a goal. But for now
I have to be content with jumping the wake. I like this, because while there is
