YOUR RESULTS
If you scored more than 70 there is a good chance that you're doing a good
job at looking after your Self.
If you scored less than 70 take a good look at those items for which you
scored less than 7 and resolve to improve the score over the next few
months.
Just getting yourself fit might make a huge difference to the way you feel.
Taking a holiday will probably do the same, but make it at least 21 days
away.
The people who meditate and keep themselves fit usually score highest on
this profile.
If you scored less than 40, give serious consideration to going and having a
chat with your employee assistance program. Life is meant to be better.
