Do you feel like you have too many demands and not enough time? Are you often feeling overwhelmed, irritable, dissatisfied? Do you find yourself having trouble sleeping, struggling to concentrate, lacking motivation and passion? Does your work environment often feel heavy, negative and/or tense? Do you have frequent sick calls at work?  Is the level of productivity and impact not meeting your goals?

If you answered yes to any of these scenarios, you and/or your organization may be experiencing the negative effects of  S T R E S S. 

"S T R E S S"- just the word itself can produce feelings of dis-ease in many people.  It is defined as a state of tension resulting from a single or multiple demands and circumstances. Not all stress is bad though. Stress can actually serve as a protective mechanism in the body for the short-term.  You run into problems when more chronic stress is experienced in varying degrees. Ongoing stress can begin to negatively impact your health, your relationships, your happiness and your overall progression in life.
