Rescue Remedy 

Take the stress test

Work out your Rescue Quotient with this short test.

Most of us don't like to admit we are stressed. We see it as a sign of weakness that we just can't cope. But if left undetected the effects of stress build up and can ultimately affect not just our emotional wellbeing, but our physical health too.

Why not take a few moments to complete the following test to find out your Rescue Quotient (RQ)?

•  Do you find it hard to concentrate?
Do you have days where you have no confidence?
Do you feel tired a lot of the time?
Do you find it hard to make decisions?
Do you find yourself taking your worries out on those around you?
Do you often find yourself getting angry or irritable?
Do you find it hard to say no and end up with too much to do?
Do you feel tense and 'knotty' in your back and shoulders?
Do you have problems sleeping - either getting to sleep, waking up in the night or suffering from nightmares?
Have you been suffering regularly from headaches or an upset stomach?
Do you find it difficult to clear your head at the end of the day?
Do you find yourself comfort eating or drinking? Or have you gone the other way and lost your appetite?
Do you constantly feel like you are up against the clock?
Do you have mood swings?
Do you find yourself snapping at your friends, family, colleagues or partner?
