Chronic stress

While a stress response is a normal function for our bodies and we definitely do need it in certain circumstances, being constantly stressed is not healthy and it's making us sick. Although burn-out can be difficult to define and diagnose, it is widely accepted as being chronic stress resulting in physical and mental exhaustion and breakdown, frequently accompanied by alienation from workplace activities and reduced performance. Numerous factors cause chronic stress: unmanageable workloads, unrealistic expectations, ambiguity about roles, low job satisfaction and personal accomplishment, lack of recognition, an unhealthy work-life balance and workplace harassment.

Change of lifestyle

By acknowledging your stress, you can start to reverse its presence and impact on your life. There are a number of techniques you can implement to reduce stress and improve your health, and it starts with making a commitment to changing your lifestyle.
