How Vulnerable Are You To Stress?


Three things Charles Darwin never said but could have:·        It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
·        In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively prevailed.
·        Having a happy social lifestyle is very effective in managing stress.

1. Always True            2. Often True 3. Sometimes True     4. Seldom True           5. Never True

1.         I eat at least one hot, balanced meal a day

5.         I do not smoke                                                            
6.         I drink fewer than five alcoholic drinks a week                                                            
7.         I am the appropriate weight for my height                                                      
8.         I drink fewer than two cups of coffee (or tea or cola) a day                                                    
9.         I have a network of friends, family and acquaintances on whom I can rely

11.       I am generally in good health                                                 
12.       I am able to speak openly about my feelings when angry, stressed or worried                      
13.       I do something for fun at least once a week                                                   
14.       I recognize stress symptoms                                                  
15.       I take quiet time for myself during the day                                                      
16.       I have an income adequate to meet my basic expenses                                                        
17.       I spend less than an hour each day traveling to and from work                                                         
18.       I am calm when I am kept waiting/stuck in traffic/late for an appointment?                            
19.       I have regular calm conversations with the people I live with about domestic problems,                   e.g., chores, money and daily living issues                                                 
20.       I never try to do everything myself

23.       I feel organized and in control                                                            
24.       I am able to organize my time effectively                                                       
25.       I recognize when I am not coping well under pressure

e.g: If your response add up to 50, your degree of vulnerability to stress is calculated thus:

[(Your response – 25)* 100/100] = [(50-25)*100/100] = 25% vulnerability
