Your Stress Style is...
The Thinker
You see every angle, which makes you thoughtful and prepared. Stress often shows up as a busy mind that's hard to switch off.
5 small practices to try this week
1.
Try a 5-minute "brain dump" in a notebook before bed, with your phone out of reach.
2.
Set a 15-minute "worry window" earlier in the day. When a worry shows up later, jot it down for tomorrow's window.
3.
When a "what if" keeps looping, write down what you'd actually do if it happened. A plan helps quiet the loop.
4
For big decisions, set a decide-by date and name the two or three facts that matter most.
5.
Get out of your head with something physical: a walk, a stretch, or a few slow breaths, longer out than in.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
