Stress Management

Stress became a buzzword in the 80’s when it was considered an executive disease, but stress has been with us since the days of early man.

Today it is acknowledged by scientists and doctors as a very real, destructive and persuasive problem in our society, especially in the areas of our work. It affects people of all walks of life – unemployed to company directors.

Every year an estimated 90 million worker days are lost in the UK as a result of stress, at a cost to British Industry of £1,000 per employee. As stress comes to us all, it hits us in many ways and can take a definite toll on the human body.

We can all benefit by learning to deal with it, eliminating it where possible and desirable. In other cases, we need to learn to cope with it as best we can and, on occasions, even to use it in a positive way.

The ability to control it can lead to a brighter outlook on life, a higher self-esteem and a more relaxed approach. Such a person is likely to be more efficient in all that they do.

Advice is available on effective time management and exercising itself can provide a wonderful stress relief.
