Stress Thermometer Log of This Week

Day: Stress_Degree
Sat.:   9 (out of 10) Training session for skiing instructors, 2 meltdowns. I barely kept myself safe.
Sun.:  7  The second day of the training session. 1 meltdown. Relieved after I got home.
Mon.:  5  Went to work, one night sleep was too short to recover from stress. I worked through.
Tue.:  4  Stress still remaining. Having finished meeting handout, my heart got slightly lighter.
Wed.:  4  Meeting done. It'll take a few days for me to relax. I wonder how much I was tense then. 
I hope the thermometer will indicate lower than 3 on Thursday and Friday.

Description of stress (thermometer) degrees
10: Very Dangerous, serious meltdown: I often scream loud, jump up and down. I have really hard time with keeping other people and myself safe.
9: Similar panicky behavior to 10 degrees. I have minimum self control to keep other people and myself safe.
8: Milder panic than those two above, like losing word or uttering meaningless word, but not necessarily aloud. When I take a deep breath, I know what to do next and resume my work with a miserable temper.
7: Having an idea, and anxiety that I might fall into a panic or meltdown. I often utter to myself moderately aloud, to keep myself being capable of thinking somehow rationally.
6: Having an idea, and anxiety that I might fall into a panic. I try my best to keep myself calm, but might utter a few words linked to my idea, or sometimes irrelevant words.
5: Having an anxiety that something bad may be going to begin on me. I find it difficult to relax, even during an idle time. Prefer more expensive and sometimes sweet coffee.
4: Finding myself taking much longer time than usual to relax. Feeling that I wish more time fore lest to relax. Once I'm set to work, my concentration will not be so bad. Prefer a little more expensive coffee.
3: My typical mental state. A little bit nervous, and having hope a little bit. I can relax having coffee of regular price. I'm looking forward to pastime of weekends.
2: Good state for me. Having hope for future and work, and having vigor to face demands from customers or my boss.
1: Ideal, but seldom for me. Balance of relax, work, and hope. I can relax even having cheap instant coffee.
