I ate a relatively low fat diet, and my weight was pretty good OK, I could drop five pounds. My cholesterol numbers were in the safety zone. Nevertheless, I had a heart attack. I had to really rest for a month, but now I have completed a cardiac rehabilitation program. I feel better than ever now, and I have learned a great deal about the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease in a very personal way.
Stressful situations are unavoidable in modern work-life.
We live in chaotic times. But stress itself is not the problem. Our reactions to stressful environments are the problem, and they may well be aging us prematurely and making us sick. How each of us manages the inevitable stresses that we face each day, will determine, to a great extent, the quality of our personal and professional lives. It is clear to me now, that we need to manage stress just like every other critical work-life element.
