Stress is something very few of us are immune to anymore. In fact, numerous studies show that Americans experience greater stress and more stress-related illnesses than ever before and it’s not slowing down. We live in a culture of high wants and high demands which cause us to work harder and longer hours. Not surprising, among the different types of stress, work related stress is the main stressor for most American adults. The constant juggling of work/personal lives, lack of job security, people issues, and workload can take a toll on our mental and physical health.
So, what are the symptoms of workplace stress? Knowing the signs of stress allow us to explore different coping mechanisms that make life more functional and enjoyable.

The number one most effective way to reduce stress is by taking care of yourself. Ways you can do this are: keep hydrated, exercise, eat a balanced diet, take breaks through out your day (even if it’ stepping outside), adequate sleep, manage distractions, improve time management, set short-term and long-term goals, and rethink your negative thinking. Your perspective on life can trump any event that happens throughout your life. Lastly, ask for help when you need help. Americans tend to have a “just do it” mentality but work and life responsibilities can be far more enjoyable when shared.
