By cultivating reflection and self-awareness, we can better understand our own reactions to stress and develop more effective coping strategies. Practising stress management techniques allows us to move towards a calmer and more reflective state of mind. For instance, we can reduce feelings of stress by practising mindfulness techniques, seeking support from others, or through exercise.

Additionally, we believe that facilitating more moments of self-reflection is key for kick-starting positive behaviour change. Understanding how and why people respond to attacks online allows us to show empathy towards ourselves and others. Self-reflection allows us to consider how our actions may have contributed to harm creation, and through this develop a sense of personal responsibility and accountability. Thus, promoting reflection is important for respectful and positive dialogue in online spaces.
