Warning signs of stress include which of the following?

Increased energy levels
Indecisiveness
Improved focus
Excessive laughter

The correct answer is: Indecisiveness

Indecisiveness is a common warning sign of stress, as it can indicate an inability to think clearly or make decisions. Stress often affects cognitive functions, leading to confusion, a lack of concentration, and difficulty prioritizing tasks. When someone is under stress, their ability to process information and weigh options may be impaired, resulting in hesitation or difficulty in reaching conclusions. In contrast, increased energy levels, improved focus, and excessive laughter typically do not reflect the presence of stress. These factors might suggest a state of well-being or engagement, rather than the mental and emotional challenges that accompany stress.
