There are four useful steps that individuals can use in order to effectively cope with stressful situations.

Too much stress can be counterproductive Can create health problems in the long run

Small problems are often exaggerated into larger ones, creating more stress in an individual

People must be able to determine which problems in life are worth stressing over, and stop being stressed equally among all situations

Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) Created by Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe Most psychologists use this point system to

determine how at risk an individual may be for potential health problems

A score of up to 150 means you have a 30% risk of having health problems due to stress

A score between 150-299 increases it to 50% A score of 300 or more puts you at 80% risk!
