2–because I’m retired, no kids, and have all day to write. Would have put 1 but I write every day😉

I really relate to your writing idea! Even though it’s a constructive stress to write everyday, it’s still stressful 🙂

5 ~ because of pain making all the normal things so much harder 😢

That sounds tough, but I’m glad that pain doesn’t take the stress up to 10. How do you deal with that pain?

For my head, caffeine helps. For my back, stretches and a hot shower. I try to stay upbeat. It could be worse!

So basically your thoughts create the stress when it’s not there?

It’s close to a 10. For some reason I didn’t inherit or develop the mechanism for coping with stress, so all things related to health, life, kids, financial, dog, social, food, clutter, and sex cause me stress.

Considering I lost my job Monday, I’d say about an 8. I’m trying to look at this new development positively because I was planning to quit at some point anyway. However, I would have liked it better if the departure had been on my terms.

Maybe the departure hasn’t been on your terms, but the steps you’re going to make from now on is on yours 🙂

1 – I’m a “Cloud Rider”! 🙂 And this post made me laugh when I read it is # 347… Thinking “Oh my yes, that number sounds a bit accurate for the amount of [conscious] questions I ask myself every day”. Thank you for the smile! Great work 🙂

Congratulations for being a Cloud Rider and thank you for your kind words! Regarding the questions you ask yourself every day, how helpful are they for you?
LikeLiked by 1 person
‘Helpful’ only because I use them to ask a relative question: “Am I conscious of what I’m thinking/doing?” and that’s the fun part of having an ‘evolved, human’ brain.

I for one can say my “Daily” life isn’t stressful whatsoever atm (although that’s probably subject to change due to time and growth being a thing) so I’d give it a 2, would of used 1 but the thoughts seem to mix up things that eventually pass with “stress” a lot

Oh my! Definitely a 8 going to 10, with some rare, amazing days (mostly weekends) in which I can enjoy a 2-3. And this is because of a full time job with its high peaks of stress, a night master in communication and digital master, a house to run, groceries to do, meals to cook for two people to try to stay healthy, chores to organise, errands to run, a couple of gym sessions to try to fit in + maintaining a social life, taking care of the relationship, feeding my blog, trying to develop daily! Oh my I stressed only to write all of this 😀
