Managing Stress & Achieving Wellness
The lack of work life balance, the increasing pace of life and demands in workplace all add to the stress that accumulates in all of us. Trying to balance responsibilities at work and at home may cause many to suffer from stress which results in high blood pressure, insomnia, headaches, obesity and picking up habits such as smoking and excessive drinking.
The effects of short term stress if not treated will lead to chronic illnesses and may affect our quality of life. Whether we are managers or executives, housewives or students, we will all experience stress in some degree in our lives.
We need to take action and recognise symptoms, seek solutions and assistance if necessary to manage the stress and achieve we4llness. We can learn to manage stress so that it works for us and not against us.
