Stress
workshop
In this
workshop we looked at a book called ‘The Stress Report
The book
contains some interesting facts and insights into stress and the creative
industry.
85% of
people would rather have one less working day than a pay rise.
43% of
people have their best ideas mid exercise, 32% when in the shower, 20% during
holiday and 5% in front of a computer.
Money, work
and time cause the most stress.
25% of
people use exercise as a form of stress relief. 17% use meditation. 16% use
friends. 11% use music. Interestingly only 3% of people reduce stress by
prioritising.
During the
workshop we were asked 4 questions.
What
negative thought have you had today?
What scares
you?
What stresses
you out?
How do you
destress?
Many of the
answers our class gave were very similar. For example, the most common negative
thought was associated with appearance and the thing that stressed our class
out the most was time management and deadlines. The majority of the class
feared not being good enough.
Our task
was to create a Haiku.
My Haiku is
called ‘I Am’
I Am
I am scared of failure
I am
not good enough
I am falling behind.
To tackle
this stress, I would create a calming app. This would be aimed at students and
young adults. I would bring calming music, pictures of nature, positive and reassuring
phrases and a feature that would help people concentrate on their breathing.
This
product would help counteract the stresses we have been discussing.
