Knowing the nature of our stressors is the first step in meaningful stress management. In this journaling exercise, please reflect on your top ten stressors, then elaborate on the top five. Think deeply about the nature of the stressors, the origins of the stressors, and your reactions to them. How do these stressors affect your day-to-day life? "One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day, but if we do each thing calmly and carefully, we will get it done quicker and with much less stress."
