Course overview
Lesson Overview
10.8 – Keeping Your Plan Visible and Accessible: Stress can make your mind go blank, so keeping your stress plan somewhere visible ensures you can access support instantly. You might post reminders near your desk, save a calming checklist on your lock screen, or place comfort items where they are easy to grab. When your tools are in sight, your brain receives a message that support is always nearby. Visibility helps you use coping skills at the right time instead of waiting until things feel out of control. A visible plan protects you in the moments that matter most.
