Make sure, though, that you are not trying so hard to avoid problems that you shy away from challenges. 7 - 13 NO's: You've got your life in fairly good control. Work on the choices and habits that could still be causing you some unnecessary stress in your life. 14 - 20 NO's: You're approaching the danger zone. You may well be suffering stress-related symptoms and your relationships could be strained. Think carefully about choices you've made and take relaxation breaks every day. Above 20 NO's: Emergency! You must stop now, re-think how you are living, change your attitudes, and pay careful attention to diet, exercise, and relaxation.
