- 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.
