Try and make entries every hour as this will help you to analyze and realise what causes you stress and should help you understand what the most frequent and most important sources of stress in your life are.
Every time you make an entry, record the following information:
- The date and time of the entry
- How happy you feel now using the scale as 0 being the unhappiest and 10 being the happiest
- How effectively you are working now using the scale as 0 being the most ineffective and 10 being the most effective
- How stressed you feel at your time of entry, again, using the scale as 0 being the least stressed and 10 being the most stressed
- The most recent stressful event that you have experienced
- What you felt during the stressful event (e.g. headache, racing pulse, sweating, butterflies in your stomach, anger etc)
- The fundamental cause of the stress
- How well you managed with the event. Did your reaction help the problem or make it worse?
