Why Stress is Your Most Powerful Cue | Ask Jessie: Habits

Think about the last time your day took an unexpected turn—a tight deadline, difficult news, or sudden pressure. Chances are, your next move wasn’t a conscious decision. It was your habit loop activating in real time.

For many of us, stress prompts automatic behaviors. We reach for a snack, pour another cup of coffee, or dive into distraction. These responses happen so fast they feel involuntary. But that split second between feeling stressed and taking action is where transformation lives.

When you recognize stress as a cue, you create space for choice.
Instead of defaulting to habits that leave you feeling worse later, you can design responses that actually help you process pressure more effectively and support your long-term health and wellness.

This video is the start of an ongoing conversation about habits, behavioral change, and sustainable wellbeing. We’re kicking things off with stress because it’s universal, and because understanding this one habit loop can transform how you respond to everything.

What’s your go-to response when stress hits? I’d love to hear your take in the comments.
