Stress diary: what to write down besides assessment

A practical approach

Assessing your well-being is subjective, and that’s normal. Benefit occurs when a person uses the same scale and marks circumstances in the same way.

The context of stress is more useful than a single number by briefly recording the event, the bodily reaction, and the action that followed. First practical guide for this task: rate the intensity on one scale.

Four consecutive steps

1. 01

   Rate the intensity on one scale.

2. 02

   Name the type of event without unnecessary third party data.

3. 03

   Note duration and noticeable response.

4. 04

   Write down the action that worked or didn't help.

What most often distorts observation?

• Keep other people's sensitive information in a note.
• Consider high stress as the sole cause of the symptom.
• Re-read the notes if this worsens the condition, without the support of a specialist.

How to use the collected data

The coincidence of two events in time does not mean that one caused the other. The diary helps to see repeatability and prepare a hypothesis, but does not replace diagnostics.

For a final review, go back to the last step: write down the action that worked or didn't help. Compare it to the original target and specifically note exceptions that cannot be explained by the available records.

Brief conclusion

The context of stress is more useful than a single number by briefly recording the event, the bodily reaction, and the action that followed. Working minimum to continue: rate the intensity on one scale. After this, use the remaining points as a testable plan and keep only actual observations.
