Answer Example
"When I get stressed, I know that I tend to get tunnel vision, and I bury myself in my work. So I set timers to keep myself on track, and when I set alarms to take a break and take a breather. When I get home, I cook because it focuses me on a task in the present moment. Then I write in my journal if I need to get anything out of my system. That way, the next morning, I'm refreshed and ready to meet the day."
