Stress you? Do not know. If you are one of the serene people in all situations, on vacation, you let go completely. No way to worry about a rainy day, a train delay or an Airbnb cancellation. Be careful, however, not to be too surprised by events, or to fall into boredom. Cultivate the “good” stress, those little adrenaline rushes that will help you get out of the routine. Even if it's just to test an unfamiliar beach or taste oysters for the first time! .
You have a maximum of B answers
Your stress level is high. You like to keep control, you are a master in the art of planning, at the risk of forgetting the present moment. If there is one time in the year when you can let go, it's now. Take advantage of the holidays to cut yourself off from your daily routine and perhaps introduce yourself to new rituals: digital detox, 10 minutes of meditation in the morning, a few drops of CBD… You will come back calm and ready for the start of the school year!
