Stress Savvy: Wrap-Up Discussion
Hi everyone,
For the past 4-5 weeks we have been exploring stress and related areas like kindness, gratitude, resilience as well as self-discovery. Reflection is an important part of looking back at how far we've all come. Here are some questions to help you reflect on your Stress Savvy journey. We discussed the same questions during our live chat and want everyone to contribute.
Please feel welcome to answer these and share any additional thoughts/feedback:
✨ What aspects of yourself did you uncover during the challenge?
✨ Were there any surprises or revelations about your values, strengths, or areas for improvement?
✨ On a scale of 1-10, how self-aware were you about your stress, and how self-aware are you now?
✨ Which stress management techniques did you find most effective? Are there any other discussions that we had/tips you gained from this challenge?
✨ During this past month, how many days did you deliberately practice stress management techniques learnt during this challenge? Was this different to your experiences prior to being Stress Savvy?
✨ Moving forwards, our chatroom will be open, and everyone should share how their weeks go by and we can also keep on discussing strategies as well. How often do we think we will keep on actively focusing on stress? Is this a goal or concern for you all?
✨ We also got to explore gratitude and resilience as part of our challenge: How did cultivating gratitude impact your mindset and outlook?
✨ Were there specific moments during the challenge where gratitude played a significant role for you?
✨ How would you rate your overall mental health? Options: Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent
Please feel welcome to share your honest feedback about this challenge. The best parts, the parts you wish were better, and anything else in between. You all were the first people to try out this community challenge and so your feedback is essential for upcoming challenges and the strengthening of this one!

❤️ Thank you for this post! This challenge helped me uncover some of my strengths. I was very self-aware about my stress, and now I have in mind some coping strategies. Self-compassion is really helpful, and I loved the practical tips to manage stress. This month, I probably practiced stress management techniques every day, and it was great to allow me to choose myself. I love that the chatroom will remain, and I hope we can focus on our stress management weekly. Gratitude has been helpful to see my strengths and encourage me to self-care, although I can't recall very specific moments (it was more of a day-to-day situation). My mental health is still poor, but that's because of my depression and anxiety. My only suggestion is to include even more practical coping skills, but this challenge is amazing regardless. Again, thank you! ❤️
