Where's Your Stress Going?
The Miami Herald has an article that talks about how stress is such a part of today's workplace shifts, etc. Here's a quote:
"With the daily drumbeat of slashed jobs, home foreclosures, high debt levels and skyrocketing gas and food prices, the anxiety level of the American worker is rising exponentially. Three-quarters of Americans say they are stressed about money, a jump from 60 percent two years ago, according to an April poll of 1,848 adults by the American Psychological Association."
It also discusses the impact stress has on a person physically. It offers some good suggestions for channeling the stress. Some ideas for channeling include:
- Daily exercise
- Talking it out with a close friend or mentor
- Meditation, etc.
Stress is a very real part of our lives today. It doesn't care who you are. It seeks to undermine your ability to serve others well. Learn to process stress and you'll be Serving Strong!
