Acknowledge Your Stress • What is stressing you right now? • What are your emotional responses? • What are your behavioral responses? • What are you physiological responses? • What is your current mindset about the stress you are experiencing? Alia Crum
Welcoming Your Stress • What is the care beneath the complaint? • Since you are only stressed because you care about something, what is it that you care about?
Utilize Your Stress Response • 1. Are your responses to this stress facilitating your positive purpose? • 2. Can you utilize this stress to: • Build social bonds? • Reconnect with your values? • Increase self-mastery? • 3. What might be the hidden opportunities inherent in this stress - the possibilities, lessons, and/or insights?
