Letting Stress Work for You by Pat Boer Even in a booming economy, people suffer stress. Causes include excessive workloads, tension between coworkers, disrespectful bosses, botched interviews, and missed opportunities.
Rapid change creates new jobs and more stress.
Make stress work for you by recognizing it. We can't change stress in the workplace, only our reaction to it. When we choose to make stress work for us, it's called becoming resilient. Resilience is what happens as a result of coping well or recovering from losses. It's more than bouncing back, it means taking risks, learning to live with uncertainty, and solving problems creatively.
