What Sparks ignite your STRESS?

News and Stress

It seems that everyone is talking about the stress they are experiencing. My neighbor and I were discussing how the daily news about the Coronavirus, the economy, demonstrations, deaths, students remote learning at home, and the 2020 election can spark and ignite an individual’s stress level. Social media, newspapers, radio programs, blogs, and pod casts provide us with news. However, that news can also create more stress.

Brain Color Personalities and Behavior

How individuals respond to stressful situations differs because of their personality type. Understanding their Brain Color behavior helps people decrease the stress and increase the harmony, relaxation, and enjoyment in their lives.

Yellow Brainers value orderliness and need to know what is expected of them. They become stressed if their plans are disrupted or they have to deal with disorganization. When frustrated they worry and may become rigid and/or self-righteous about their ideas, which can cause a stressful situation.

To alleviate their stress sparks Yellow Brainers need to schedule time to take a break from responsibilities, which will help them relax and enjoy life more.

Blue Brainers need to spend time with family and friends and they desire a peaceful lifestyle. Lack of cooperation can spark their stress, and they must talk about their upset. If they are frustrated they may become disheartened and emotionally overwhelmed and create a stressful situation.

To alleviate their stress sparks Blue Brainers need to call a family member or friend setting a date to spend social-distanced or online time together, which will help them relax and enjoy life more.

Green Brainers are reserved individuals who require “alone time,” especially when they are thinking about solving a problem. Their stress is sparked when dealing with incompetency. When frustrated they emotionally withdraw from others and may become condescending, which can cause a stressful situation.

To alleviate their stress sparks Green Brainers need to prioritize their private time without interruptions, which will help them relax and enjoy life.

Orange Brainers are fun-loving dynamos who thrive on adventure and taking risks. Their greatest stress spark is someone else’s rules, which they think they do not have to follow. They become frustrated easily and physically “drop out” and will “pout” when they feel restricted, which can cause a stressful situation.

To alleviate their stress sparks Orange Brainers need to participate in some type of physical activity or something entertaining, which will help them relax and enjoy life more.
