Category 1: Emotional

How you feel emotionally is the key indication of how stress is impacting you. By noticing what your emotions are and when they show up will help you pinpoint where you need to focus in order to reduce the impact stress has on you.

Emotional

	0	1	2	3	4
I am irritable, easily agitated, frustrated, or moody.
I feel overwhelmed with all that I have to do.
It is difficult to quiet my mind or to relax.
I feel badly about myself (low self-esteem), lonely, worthless.
I worry or am anxious.
I have bouts of anger or hostility.
I feel bored or depressed.

Category 2: Physical

People underestimate the significance that stress has on their bodies and how it contributes to physical discomfort, disease and weight issues. These physical indicators are warnings, your body’s way of saying “pay attention,” before these common symptoms that lead to a more serious physical issue.

Physical

	0	1	2	3	4
I am fatigued or have low energy.
I have skin issues such as rashes, eczema or psoriasis, hives, shingles, or acne.
I experience upset stomach, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation or nausea.
I have body aches or pain, tense muscles, or headaches.
I experience rapid heartbeat, tightness in my chest, or chest pains.
I have insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or toss and turn in the night.
I find myself clenching my jaw, grinding my teeth, or have jaw or tooth pain.

Category 3: Behavioral

Stress negatively affects how you react or respond to the emotions you are experiencing, and these reactions or responses are often automatic and unconscious. When you understand what is driving that behavior then you know where to begin in order to reduce the negative impact stress is having on your body, your emotional and mental health, and on your quality of life.

Habits

I eat too much or not enough; binge or skip meals.
I am short-tempered, snap at or am grumpy with those I care about.
I procrastinate or avoid responsibilities.
I am not motivated.
I feel I need to smoke, drink alcohol, and/or take drugs.
I have difficulty staying focused, find myself jumping from one task to another.
