Life is filled with difficult situations from relationship breakdowns to job loss. In between, there are many stress triggers that can make any daily issue seem much more challenging than it probably is, and the more stressed we are, the more vulnerable we are to not coping with life’s many challenges. What are your stress triggers (i.e. external events or circumstances that may produce symptoms or feelings that are very uncomfortable or distressing)? Think back to difficult times you have had in the past and identify where your stress triggers may have come from. What can you do to minimize the experience of stress in your life? Develop a plan to cope with these stress triggers in the future.
