Life Stressors Chart

Email Email
Life Stressors Chart is a tool by which one can measure the level of stress they are in by recalling the activities or events in life over a specified period. This indicates the stress levels in order to help us in leading a stress free life.
Life Stressors Chart
A few interesting facts:
1.Every event in life causes a considerable stress. While in most cases it is unpleasant events that create stress, in some cases it could even be pleasant events, as they too require adapting.

2.Individual reactions may vary widely over the same event. Mentally mature persons suffer less stress from the same event as compared to the weaker ones.

Errr what's the criteria for assessing if it is stress free or not?! My result came back that i'm living a stress-free life, despite the fact that I have selected, death of a spouse, personal illness, change in residence, major changes in working hours, living conditions etc. All things that are very stressful!!!

I think this test is good but not applicable everywhere. And why using positive and negative changes in the same indicator as Spouse beginning or ceasing work outside the home
and some changes could have positive imapct on our life
