Getting under the influence of negative factors (stressors), a person consciously or subconsciously tries to adapt to a completely new situation. Everyone has their own reaction to stress. Someone gives up and becomes depressed, while someone is trying to switch to more important things. Are you stress resistant? A simple test will help to understand this.
Stress test
Here are 20 statements. The answer options are: “almost always” - 1 point, “often” (affirmative “yes”) - 2 points, “sometimes” - 3 points, “almost always” - 4 points, “no, this does not happen at all” - 5 points.
1. Your diet consists of balanced and wholesome foods.
2. Your sleep is 7-8 hours a day, and on weekends you allow yourself to sleep longer.
3. You feel an incredible rise, you are loved and give your love in return.
4. From the list of people around you, there are one or two people whom you fully trust.
5. You take care of yourself and visit the gym at least twice a week.
6. You smoke, but the volume of packs smoked per day does not exceed two.
7. You allow yourself to occasionally drink alcoholic beverages, but not more than 5 glasses a week.
8. Your weight is normal and does not bother you.
9. Your income fully satisfies your basic needs (food, clothing, etc.).
10. You have a business whose success you believe in.
11. You actively lead a public life (communicate with friends, etc.).
12. You have many friends and acquaintances.
13. You have one or two friends, but that’s enough for you.
14. Your health is in perfect order.
15. You can openly express your feelings and do not keep anything in yourself.
16. Do you have someone to tell about your problems.
17. You like to joke and laugh more than once a day.
18. You plan your time and do everything in time.
19. You consume no more than 3 cups of coffee per day.
20. You have enough free time to devote a few minutes or hours to yourself.
Now add up the results of your answers and subtract 20 points. If in the end you have succeeded:
- Less than 10 points - your stress tolerance can be envied. You know how to look at the situation from the side and almost never enter into open conflict with anyone.
- More than 30 points - stressful situations can permanently knock you out of the habitual collie, but as a result you can analyze everything and find the right ways out of the crisis. You take too much to heart what is happening. Perhaps you should learn to control your emotions.
- More than 50 points - you should seriously think about your life and set the right priorities. You are extremely vulnerable to stress and panic at the first discrepancy between reality and your inner plans.
