Stress.
At work, it can be triggered by…
Long work hours
An unexpected, firm email from your boss
A call from a client pulling out due to budget cuts
Demanding or misaligned expectations
Deadlines
Many things can bring it on and some days it may seem like everything is playing a role. Is it just an inevitable part of work? Or life?
Years ago, an elderly gentlemen who observed me running a large-scale event, that I had planned for 6+ months, commented to my client saying, “The grass doesn’t grow under her feet.”
At the time I wore it like a badge of honor. Sit? No thank you. I need to keep busy. Take a break? Maybe later, there’s still work to do.
Emotions actually cause biochemical reactions in our bodies, sending molecular messages that can impact how we respond to a given situation. Because the chain reaction directly impacts our bodily cells (for the better – in tune or worse – out of tune), it is important to know what you can do when these reactions have been triggered.
