About This Quick Stress Test

Life is filled with what are called “stressors” which can weigh on different people differently. Stress management starts with understanding how much stress you are experiencing.

Stress can weaken your immune system, rob you of health, zap your energy, and negatively affect your interactions. If stress is not managed, the end result is burnout. You may FEEL stressed, yet not experiencing many stressors. OR, you can NOT feel stressed yet have a ton of stressors piled up on you. This quick stress test will measure objectively how much stress you are under – no matter how you feel.

Don’t miss our free Burnout Assessment to review your burn out level.
