Become decision makers at every level of the health care system so your opinions about reducing organizational stress are used to improve life for all professionals. On an individual level, this requires risk-taking and a willingness to lead during turbulent times.
Stress is an essential component of life.
Interestingly, there are both positive and negative stressors. The realistic goal is not to eliminate stress, but to determine the optimal balance of stress in your life and to stay within that range of stress as much as possible. There does not exist a definitive line between personal and organizational stress. The work headache tends to transform into a disagreement with the children, and a family argument seems to migrate into the work setting. The same rules for managing personal stress apply regardless of the setting, whether it be home, school or work.
