What is your stress bucket? (Part 1)
About this episode
Stress Bucket Series Part 1
We’ve all heard the saying you can’t pour from an empty cup, but I’d also like to put a twist on it today and say you can’t add to a full one. Join me for part 1 in a 4 part series unpacking the steps to the Stress Bucket Exercise. Todays conversation is all about step 1: Assess - this answers the question of, "What is in my stress bucket?" Until you can get it out of your head and onto paper you'll likely stay mostly stressed most of the time - and that's no way to live! Join me while I walk you through the 4 categories of common stressors and explore which ones contribute most to your stress bucket. Hit play to learn more!
3 Takeaways:
- Your nervous system has a capacity. When your stress bucket stays too full for too long, symptoms emerge. Learning to assess your stress is step one in reclaiming ease.
- You can’t manage what you don’t first acknowledge. Inventory your physiological, environmental, relational, and technological stressors with curiosity, not critique.
- Use Amanda’s free workbook to go deeper. It includes prompts and exercises for each category. You can also bring it to therapy, coaching, or your own reflections.
