Sources of Stress

To truly understand personal stress and to make your life more fulfilling and enjoyable, you must identify the specific sources of stress in your life.  I have identified seven key dimensions in life that, collectively describe a useful profile of one’s unique identity and level of self-esteem.

Taken together these seven key dimensions define who we are, how we live our life, and how various life forces impact us.  They feed directly into our self-perception.  If you’ve taken the time to be truly reflective and to think through each of these, then you should be able to identify the one, two, or three that are currently causing you the most stress…and perhaps the two or three that are your greatest sources of joy.  The next step is to lay out a personal action plan to make the commitment to change.
