which of the following has been recommended as a method for managing stress?
a) practicing dichotomous thinking
b) keeping a journal to track your stressors, worries, and options
c) engaging in demanding or competitive physical activity
d) using mind - altering drugs to induce a sense of peace

Explanation:

• Option A: Dichotomous thinking (seeing things as either/or) can be rigid and unhelpful in stress management. It doesn't address the complexity of stressors.
• Option B: Keeping a journal helps in identifying stressors (by tracking them), understanding worries (through reflection), and exploring options (as a form of problem - solving). It is a recognized stress - management technique.
• Option C: Demanding or competitive physical activity can sometimes increase stress, especially if it's too intense or causes feelings of failure (e.g., not meeting a competitive goal). Relaxing physical activities like yoga or a light walk are more commonly recommended for stress management.
• Option D: Using mind - altering drugs is not a healthy or recommended way to manage stress. It can lead to addiction and other negative consequences.

Answer:

B. keeping a journal to track your stressors, worries, and options
