Thx for the quiz. It was a good reminder that one can always do more to improve our stress level and our overall well-being. It helped me bring more awareness of things I was doing right and wrong.
I got “Bumpy Roads Ahead — You’re handling things for now, but it’s getting tricky, huh? Consider this a nudge to try some stress-busting tactics.” as a result, and I think it makes sense. I defo could improve some areas of my life for better well-being. Thx again 🙂
I am not at all surprised that my results were “your stress levels are extremely high”. I really try to manage my stress on a daily basis, but between a battle with depression and anxiety, it can sometimes overtake my life in a way that makes my stress levels overflow. Therapy has been helping, but it’s definitely not a cure for how a person feels. It is detrimental to always have a backup plan when things don’t go as planned; it doesn’t matter if you use that plan or not, the important thing is to have it in hand, just in case. It can be the smallest of things, maybe a change in routine, or an extra 20 minutes of “me” time, but having that set and adding it to your routine can change so many things in a persons perspective of things.
Hi Stephanie, Firstly, thank you for sharing your experiences with our community. It’s courageous to open up about personal challenges, and I’m sure many readers can relate to your journey. Your score on the “Stress Level Assessment” certainly reflects a significant challenge, and it sounds like you’re already taking some proactive steps to manage it, which is fantastic. Therapy is a vital tool, and while it’s true it may not be a complete cure, it’s a significant step in understanding and managing your emotions. It’s great to hear that you find it helpful. Your idea of having a backup plan is an excellent strategy. It’s like having a safety net, isn’t it? Even if you don’t need to use it, just knowing it’s there can be reassuring. Small changes, like tweaking your routine or carving out a bit of “me” time, can make a big difference. These small adjustments often add up to a significant impact over time. In addition to what you’re already doing, have you considered mindfulness or relaxation techniques? Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or even gentle yoga can be great for managing stress and anxiety. They can be integrated into your daily routine and offer another layer of support alongside your current strategies. Remember, it’s about finding what works for you. Everyone’s journey is unique, and what’s practical for one person may not be for another. Keep exploring and adjusting your strategies as needed. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out for more support if needed. Whether talking to friends, family, or healthcare professionals, having a support network can make a difference. Stay strong, and keep us updated on your journey.
