Imagine this: think of yourself as a primitive organism, a tube with a valve at each end. One end is the STRESS IN end, the other is the STRESS OUT end. Stress goes in one end and out the other. We can deal with stress by letting in less of it (perhaps by changing careers) or by opening up the OUT end so the stress that gets in can get out: meditation, aerobic exercise, sex, beach, massage, or whatever works for you. The goal is not to eliminate stress but to manage it: let in less and/or let out more. If it flows through you, all is well. If it builds up, you have a problem. Here are two simple questions:
How can I reduce stress?
How can I let more stress flow through me without it getting bottled up inside?
Hi Nicholas:
I have read that humans need some stress in order to function. I guess the reasoning is that it keeps us healthy. The challenge is keeping the GOOD stress and reducing the BAD stress. The bad stress would be the one that gives people heart attacks.
Hi Nicholas:
Career Counseling is critical if a job hunter is going to be able to survive the recession.
Hi Nicholas:
Thanks for the information about Career Aptitude Tests. Over the years I have taken the online ones, but now after reading your information realize I need to arrange to take one through a professional. This way I can make sure my results are unique to me and not just a generic result that everyone gets.
