  • List the life events you identified on the stress rating test. Mark down your score.
  • List how your body responds to stress (the mind-body connection).

Now reflect on this experience:

  • Were you surprised by your score? What did you learn from this exercise?
  • Identify 2 – 3  SMART goals, including specific self-care interventions that will assist you in changing your behavioral response to stress.
  • Discuss the neurobiology behind how the mind and body communicate, possible complementary medicine, and other strategies that would help you affect a positive behavioral change.
