Day 5 of 5-Minute Challenge
💌 M(AI)VENS on the Move
The scoop from a bestie who’s all about AI and real connections (yes, we can be great at both!)
Hey M(AI)VENS,
Welcome to Day 5 of our 5-Minute AI Challenge and the start of our Wellness & Self-Care theme! After several days of goal-setting, it's time to focus on perhaps the most important goal of all—taking care of yourself.
Stress is inevitable, but AI can help us manage it in ways that fit our unique lifestyles.
📌 Today's Challenge: Create Your Personalized Stress Management Toolkit
1️⃣ Take a minute or two to think about your stress triggers and patterns. We all feel stressed from time to time. After all, we’re mere humans. When do you feel most overwhelmed? The more honest you are, the better your new AI toolkit can help you.
2️⃣ Ask ChatGPT: Here’s a sample prompt you can use to generate your own stress management toolkit. Feel free to customize it based on your unique needs.
>> "Based on my specific stress triggers [describe your typical stressors], help me create a personalized stress management toolkit with quick techniques I can use in different situations (at work, at home, in social settings). Include mindfulness exercises, physical techniques, and cognitive reframing strategies that would work for my personality and preferences."
3️⃣ Save your toolkit somewhere easily accessible on your phone for when you need it most. You can copy/paste it into a document or even into an email that you send to yourself.
To show you how this works, here's my example:
💡 My prompt: "Based on my specific stress triggers (usually it’s when I’m under deadline pressure, or have too many commitments), help me create a personalized stress management toolkit with quick techniques I can use in different situations. I prefer physical activities, find visualization helpful, and need solutions that don't require much time or privacy."
Here's what AI created for me:
💼 For Stress at Work (1-3 minutes)
Shoulder Roll Sequence: 10 slow shoulder rolls while taking deep breaths (can do at desk)
5-5-5 Breathing: Inhale for 5 counts, hold for 5, exhale for 5 (works during meetings)
Visualization Break: Close eyes for 30 seconds and imagine successfully completing your current task
Perspective Shift: Ask "Will this matter in 6 months?" to regain focus on what's important
🏠 For Stress at Home (3-5 minutes)
Quick Physical Reset: 20 jumping jacks or a 1-minute plank to shift energy
Sensory Grounding: Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste
Worry Time Boundary: Set a 2-minute timer to worry intensely, then consciously switch to a different activity
Power Pose: Stand tall with hands on hips for 1 minute (increases confidence hormones)
👥 For Social Overwhelm (On the spot)
Excuse Yourself Briefly: 30-second bathroom break for deep breathing
Hand Technique: Press thumb against each finger while taking deep breaths (discrete)
Mental Reframing: "I'm feeling challenged, not threatened" repeat silently
Post-Event Recovery: Schedule 15 minutes of alone time after social events
What I love about this toolkit is how specific a variety of real-life situations! I've already saved it to my Notes app and tried the shoulder roll sequence during a stressful call yesterday—it made a noticeable difference!
