It depends on the situation and time – When there's too many things to do: I write everything I need to do as a checklist in my notebook, cry a little, go for an exercise session or a zone 2 run, pray and calm myself down, and do things one at a time! When I get imposter syndrome and stop functioning as a normal human being, I turn grateful for the smallest mundane things in life and it makes me feel less stressed. Lately I manage my stress through a good cup of coffee outside my house, a breath of fresh air, and have fresh eyes to look at my work again.

oh the gratitude thing is so real. like imposter syndrome is 'in ur head stuff' whereas gratitude brings attention and mindfulness to present moment and real stuff that one can celebrate. i have this odd belief that if u dont take time to enjoy something real in the present, you don't actually 'gain' it in ur life. lol this makes me concerned for all the digital life. like if all the dopamine hits from social media means none of what we build into our life is actually real. no wonder anxiety is so high in GenZ!

i seriously don't stress often. most things blow over. but when i'm stressed i get really ADD. I'll start wandering around, feeding the fish its fifth meal, scrounging the fridge. i'll start reading the news which kinda feeds the ADD feeling. I'll pray and try lots of scripture reading trying to find some answer to whatever problem i'm stressed abt. i'll start obsessing about random things and go down rabbit holes online. then i'll take a long walk to get a long encouraging pep talk from God and calm down a bit. and then... only then, i'll actually start working on the thing i'm stressed abt. basically. i procrastinate until i feel better lol. shoot was this supposed to be a stress mgmt question. most of the time i dont stress, i just hand everything over to God to deal with. manage upwards!
but right now. ameliorating stress eating by making berry smoothies 😅 stress smoothies!
