With our busy lives, taking care of ourselves is more important than ever - yet it's often the last thing on our mind. We have to meet that deadline, use break time to run errands, make sure our kids get to all their activities and accomplish all the items on our to-do list. We all know the negative impact that stress can have on our health-so, let's find some balance. Take this self-quiz to see how well you are taking care of yourself.

T/F  1. When I'm upset and/or feeling hopeless, I talk about the situation with a friend, family member or therapist. And if I need help, I ask for it.

T/F  3. Every day I do something physical even if it's just a walk around the block or a 15-minute workout.

T/F  8. If I'm experiencing physical symptoms, I go to the appropriate health care professional. I don't panic about the symptoms, but neither do I deny them.
