Your Stress Style is...
The Caretaker
You're the one people lean on. Stress often shows up as giving more than you take back in.
5 small practices to try this week
1.
Block 15 minutes on two days this week that belong only to you, and protect them the way you would for someone else.
2.
Before you say yes, pause and say, "Let me check and get back to you."
3.
Ask for one specific kind of help this week, even something small.
4
Check in with yourself the way you check on others: "How am I doing today?"
5.
Spend time with someone you love where you're not in charge. No hosting, no planning.
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.
