In healthy doses, stress can be a good thing. It compels us to set goals
and work hard. It is what energizes our drive to climb the corporate ladder.
When our stress exceeds our ability to cope, it can rob us of our
health, happiness, and joy.
Recent statistics show that job related stressors actually place people at as great a risk for heart disease as that of
cigarette smokers and those with high serum cholesterol! Stress in the
work-place contributes to low employee moral, lost work days due to sick
leave, increased numbers of "mental health" days, and poor performance.
Physical signs of stress include:
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Heart palpitations
- Butterflies in the stomach
- Sleeping too much or too little
