If I can add here...I could not agree with you more! If I can add here, I'd also suggest that people evaluate the cultures/environments they are in to see whether they contribute to unproductive levels of stress. Several years ago I left an organization which prided itself on it's reactive nature when I could no longer ignore the increasing level of unhappiness and even stress-related illnesses of those around me. I had to admit that I had gotten caught up in what was becoming a culture of competitive workaholism! I, myself, had developed high blood pressure and was taking medication. Within a week of leaving that job to start my own business, the doctor had to cut my blood pressure medicine in half. At the end of two weeks, she had to pull me off it completely. Now I do consulting work for the same firm, but on my own terms (which includes tea and meditation breaks and sane hours). My blood pressure remains well within the bounds of normal ... and I work much more efficiently, benefitting everyone!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284140554445462441noreply@blogger.com
