The idea of a "stress signature" is really interesting. It makes sense that we all react differently to stress. I agree with your point, Sabrina, about revisiting past coping mechanisms that worked for us. Sometimes we forget the good stuff!

That's exactly it Mo! Start with what worked in the past and then expand. Also different stressors impact our stress signature so it's handy to know how we tend to react and how best to manage it.

Such a timely article, many thanks. Had a series of stress provoking things this morning and I could not keep my calm. Shame! I was deeply troubled later by the tone of my comment... The awareness and the wisdom that comes with keeping calm ; will work on it.

That's great self awareness figen. Try not to be too hard on yourself. It's not always easy but we keep trying and see what works
