  • Pinpoint your stressors: Identify the specific events or circumstances that trigger stress. Is it family, work, health, finances, or other factors?
  • Understand your stress indicators: Notice how stress manifests in your body and mind. Difficulty concentrating, irritability, headaches, muscle tension, or fatigue may signal heightened stress levels.
