10 Minute Stress Inventory
Before we can change what's stressing us out, we need to know what is actually taking up space.
Grab a piece of paper—or use your notes app.
Set a timer for 10 minutes.
Write down everything currently occupying your mental space.
Don't organize it. Don't make it pretty. Just brain-dump.
Think about:
•Family
•Home
•Work
•School
•Activities
•Relationships
•Health
•Finances
•Appointments
•Errands
•Things you're procrastinating
•Things you're worried about
•Things you feel guilty about
•Things you think you “should” be doing
Now look at your list.
Put a ⭐ beside everything that is actually your responsibility.
Put a → beside things you can influence but cannot completely control.
Put an 🚫 beside things that are not yours to control.
This is important.
Because sometimes we spend enormous amounts of emotional energy trying to manage things that were never ours to manage in the first place.
Your only job today isn't to fix anything.
It's to see it.
We'll work with the list next week.
Share one thing you discovered during your inventory:
“I didn't realize ________ was taking up so much space in my mind.”
