Stress Score
Need to de-stress? Find out your Stress Score™.
Coach Rick Crawford of Colorado Premier Training has a new system. Rate each of these areas on a scale of 1 to 10 every day for a week:
Stress
- __ Physical (hard workout)
- __ Emotional (people stuff)
- __ Mental (hard day at work)
- __ TOTAL STRESS
Recovery
- __ Sleep (quality of it)
- __ Rest (time away from work)
- __ Therapy (time doing things you love)
- __ TOTAL RECOVERY
If your stress score is way higher than your recovery score, you know what you need to do (sleep, go see art, shop on eBay). Just don't carry a "stress balance" forward to the next week.
