The Steering Stress Method
Steering Stress is a framework that measures well-being through three interconnected dimensions:
Bonding
Belonging, nostalgia, physical contact, community ties, and interpersonal bonds.
Happiness
Attention, appreciation, respect, skills, income, success, and personal fulfillment.
Contentment
Security, health, identity acceptance, and peace with life circumstances.
The goal is balance — not maximising any single dimension, but finding equilibrium across all three.
