The first solution, “making a distinction between work and play” I can easily see how this solution can help me feel better about my job and school. My job and school bring on a lot of stress, but making time for “play” will lessen the amount of stress that I take on because there will be a period of time where I will be enjoying myself not thinking about work and school. I try to do this currently, I take time out of my day to go for a run, go out with my boyfriend, or watch mindless television.
The second solution looks at taking the view that “play is an attitude of mind that may pervade any human activity.”Finding joy in work or school can be difficult at times, but by changing the way I think about it might help my attitude at work or school and take away some of the stress. I try to always find joy in what I do, but sometimes it is difficult, but when I do find joy in work or school my day tends to be less stressful and my enjoyable.
The third solution “integration, understanding that joy and pain are often found in the same place and that both are to be valued”. Most of the time when you find joy, you find pain or vice versa. You have to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason. I tend to try to make the best out of every situation. Sometimes that can be difficult when it comes to work and school, but trying to find joy even when there is pain helps distract you from the stress that you are feeling.
