"Is The
Pressure Of Your Job And Living Under Constant Stress Taking Its Toll
On
Your Health And Wellbeing?"
Stress Kills -- Staggering Stress Facts
- Do you have difficulty saying no to people only to wind up spreading yourself too thinly and taking on more than you can handle?
- Do you constantly feel overwhelmed with all the things going on in your life that it stops you from taking important decisive action?
- Do you lack motivation and a passion for life?
- Do you often feel physically weighed down with the amount of stress you have in your life?
- Are there times where you find it difficult to switch off from problems and work related dramas that you have a tendancy to bring them home?
If
this is you then there’s a good chance you’re
living in a constant state of stress and anxiety, a natural byproduct
of the
stressful environment that we in the 21st century live in.
For some reason living in
this fast paced society we’ve come to accept the fact
that it's normal to cram a week’s worth of work and tasks into a 24
hour day.
We accept the fact that
we need to do more that life becomes a big blur
rather than moments of clarity and enjoyment.
Did you know that it’s
natural to have a certain amount of stress in our
lives but it’s when that stress escalates to the point where we find
ourselves
living in a state of constant stress that it becomes damaging to both
our
mental and physical health.
It’s not surprising that
the world we live in is a much more stressful
place than that of our ancestors. With so many stresses and
pressures
life throws at us on a daily basis it’s no wonder we’re becoming a
society on
the edge dying from more stress related issues than any other
generation in
history.Stress Kills -- Staggering Stress Facts
