That's what got me too... a whopping 10 points!
Good one! ;)) My results were a 78:
51–85 You are doing a very good job of managing stress. You are positive about your life and have a moderate level of stress. There are a few areas where you may wish to improve.
Not really surprising. Looking back in past years, I can say I have improve greatly, and yet I know there's more I can do. What was that conversation is another thread? Changing our inner selves to change our reality? :P

LOL Gypsy!
Ohhhh, boy.......
I got a whopping 106..........
The areas I scored big on were:
work (don't like it)
no sleep
sick more than 4 times a year
don't like where I live
caffeine
and overwhelmed by too much to do
well........... I can cut down on the caffeine, LOL! I do meditate every day without fail, which actually really helps with the stresses, so I stay pretty calm, most of the time. Geez- glad I do meditate, I'd probably be bouncing off the walls without it!!
(((Hugs))) Sweetie!
*Ouch* appearently I really need that "Let's calm down" icon . . . 111 here . . . and I thought I was doing well by answering several of them w/ "sometimes" rather than the answers I'd have given a few months ago . . .
Ok, so I guess I need to work on my stress levels (of course I already knew that) ~ hey and I thought I was actually doing ok handling the garbage I've been through lately . . .
I *used* to be the most optimistic/silly person, in fact I had one friend who called me "the infernal optimist" as he'd get so put out w/ my "silver-lining" attitude I *always* had . . . I'm definetly not there anymore (and I miss that side of me soooooo much sometimes). But Life has cut soooo deeply in the past few years . . . I just don't know anymore . . . I've become jaded and cynical and I hate it! I **want** to feel good again! I am journaling and working on me (heck, I'm going back to college ~ at age 45 ~ and that "ain't" easy). I did really well this term, too, but yea, it's stressful. I'm a single mom and have no clue what my future holds/where I'm headed, and my past right now just hurts . . . . . *sigh* . . . I am trying . . . I do want to be happy and peaceful . . . but it's so hard when I feel so alone . . . and it all seems uphill at times . . . anyway . . .
As my current Life-motto says, "Just Keep Swimming" . . . . .

Thanks Jodi,
Interesting that you mentioned her as I just got my "Simple Abundance" book out this a.m. (shortly after posting the above) ~ I *luv* her books! Years ago when I first started reading "Simple Abundance" I found that if I kept a "Gripe" journal along with my "Grattitude" one I had sooooo much more to put in the latter (like cleaning space for appretiation?). Perhaps I should return to that?!?
I also went for a long walk this morning after posting (it's a lovely day here) and I put on a long flowy silk shirt before heading out into the sunshine ~ and that felt ~*~*wonderful*~*~!! I just need to get back into the practice of doing things like that for myself, things that *feel* special/loving/sacred again.
Largely why I've returned to iVil (and this board) to re-find that which I've misplaced underneath my "garbage" . . . hmmmmmmmm Spring Cleaning time???? Of the internal kind? Time to take out the "garbage"? Ahhh yes, perhaps Winter is over and Spring is in the air?!?
Thanks for the {{{hugs}}} ~ most definetly appreciated!!
Many Blessings, "M"
