All of us feel stress. There is good stress and bad stress. Some of us thrive on it. It is when the pressure is too much that this phenomenon becomes negative.
The good kind urges us on to do the best we can in a creative and exciting way. It is exhilarating, giving us the extra needed push to accomplish a job.
The bad kind causes us to do things in a hurry and often not the best way we can. It can make us feel badly, tense and even cause headaches, upset stomachs and bad backs.
Please answer the following questions in order to give yourself an indication of how stressed you may be:
