Commonly asked questions

A Stress Thermometer is a visual tool that helps individuals assess and communicate their stress levels on a scale, typically ranging from 0 (no stress) to 10 (extreme stress). It provides a simple and effective way to gauge one's stress level at a given moment.

To use a Stress Thermometer, simply identify the number on the scale that best represents your current stress level. For example, if you feel moderately stressed, you might indicate a 6 or 7 on the thermometer. This visual representation can help you recognize when your stress increases and remind you to implement stress management techniques.

Taking your "stress temperature" involves regularly checking in with yourself to assess your current stress level. This can be done at various times throughout the day, such as in the morning, afternoon, and evening. By monitoring your stress levels, you can identify patterns, triggers, and times when your stress is particularly high or low.
