Early Warning Signs

Identify your personal signs that stress is building at three levels: Green (early), Yellow (escalating), and Red (crisis). Create response plans for each level to intervene early.

How to Use: Think about the last time you were highly stressed. What did you notice first? What happened as stress intensified? What were the signs you'd reached your limit? Map these across the three zones.
