Week 2 Discussion

Examining Your Own Stress Level & Its Impact on Your Health

One of the best approaches for managing stress is to increase your own personal awareness of the role stress plays in your life.  Researchers at the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at the University of California at Berkeley developed a questionnaire designed to measure your level of stress and the degree to which it may be having an adverse effect on your health.  

Privately complete the brief survey at the link below (do not post your survey answers; just keep them to yourself).  It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the survey.

When you have completed the survey and reviewed your results, answer the following questions in your main post for this discussion thread:

Did you score in the low, average, or high range?

Were you surprised by your results?  Why or why not?

Discuss at least two of the recommendations you were provided within your results.  What is the likelihood you will follow those recommendations?  Why or why not?
