Stress / Pressure Management

Stress and pressure are part of the modern world.  Everything seems to have speeded up.  We are often expected to juggle multiple priorities at one time.  Yet there seems to be people who are really good at managing stress or significant pressure in their lives.

Not all stress is bad.  Learning to deal with and manage it is critical to maximizing performance, staying safe on the job, and maintaining physical and mental health.  Exposure to some “gentle” job stress may actually be quite effective in increasing motivation and productivity.  Too much stress and too prolonged exposure to pressure however can lead to a downward spiral, both professionally and personally.

Toleration of stress and pressure vary from one person to the next.  People cope with it quite differently.  Most of us experience significant pressure when we think we can’t handle the demands put upon us.  Stress can be a very negative experience depending on your perception and ability to manage it adequately.
