This episode is NOT about
Life Transitions and Significant Events – Resource mentioned Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale
Anxiety and Panic – Resource mentioned The Anxiety Podcast
The Productive kind of stress – Resource mentioned Trello
This episode is about daily situational and relational stressors
What stresses people out is different.
For you, it may be when driving – drivers who cut you off, or don’t signal or simply being traffic can be a stressor.
We just did a month on Money Management and the topic of personal finances may stress you out.
Interactions with particular people: the manager at work, a particular co-worker or client, a certain family member, acquaintance, someone with the last name in-law, even some of your friends can be stressors in your life.
It may be someone you’ve never met like a certain politician.
Did someone come to mind as you’re listening to me right now? Are you noticing your muscles tense and jaw or hands clench as you hear this list?
Just a heads up, keep this person or situation in mind because the next episode will be a visualization where we address this using the strategies you came up with from last week’s worksheet episode.
What are the stressors in your life?
If you're not clear on the stressors, think of what you tend to vent about.
What are the stories you tell yourself?
What stories or assumptions do you tell yourself? How do you fill in the blanks related to the stressor?
What’s the root of my stress?
When and where did you learn this response? Please note: next month's worksheet is the Self-Care Worksheet. In your answers for the Stress Management Worksheet, think intervention meaning what to do when stress happens. Save your prevention strategies for the Self-Care Worksheet.

You Are Worthy
Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?
Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!
But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
