Why Is Stress Management Important?
WARNING: Stress has been linked to most health problems, including heart attacks and strokes. In fact, WebMD estimates that 75% to 95% of all doctor visits are stress related. Being over-stressed can also lead to low work performance, sleep issues, absent-mindedness, decreased interest in life, addictions, and many other undesirable results.
Everyday thousands of people take time off work because of stress. Reported cases of stress-related illness are growing at a rate of 20% a year.
While stress and the effects inflicted on individuals by prolonged or excessive amounts of pressure is nothing new, it is emerging slowly from the shadows of ignorance and prejudice. Stress comes from the Latin word “stringere” which means to draw tight or to compress. Many people suffering from stress describe their feelings in this way. They feel under tremendous pressure, as if they have somehow mysteriously lost the ability to cope with the demands of life.
On the other hand, people who respond well to stress and know how to prevent unnecessary anxiety are typically peak performers.
