Your Stress Style is...
The Running-on-Empty
You've been carrying a lot for a long time. Stress often shows up as tiredness more than worry.
5 small practices to try this week
1.
Choose one small thing to take off your plate this week and hand it to someone you trust. Don't add anything new to your to-do list or your worry list in its place.
2.
Protect your sleep window: the same bedtime most nights, with screens down 30 minutes before.
3.
Lower the bar on one thing on purpose, like a simpler dinner or a shorter email.
4
Rest before you're exhausted, not after. Ten minutes outside or with your eyes closed counts.
5.
At the end of each day, write down one thing that gave you energy and one thing that drained it.
Rest is not idleness.
