It’s confirmed.
I took one of those on line stress tests the other day and my score
indicated I have many signs of burnout like lack of energy, feeling overwhelmed,
unable to relax and inability to focus.
Wow, I don’t think I know anyone in business today who isn’t suffering
from “burnout”.
All of us are affected by work related stress at one
time or another. Of course, some jobs
are more stressful than others. Air
traffic controllers, police and fire personnel come to mind, but would you have
guessed that the job of bus driver is highly stressful? Bus drivers sit for long periods of time, are
responsible for the safe operation of the bus in dense traffic while
maintaining tight schedules. They deal
with all types of passengers, some of whom may be threatening or violent.
Stress is pretty serious. It causes everything from headaches to heart
attacks. 75 to 90 percent of doctor visits
are fro stress related complaints.
But, there is hope.
There are many ways to reduce stress in your life. Exercise, eat right, get enough sleep, join
family and friends in fun activities. I’ve
met with my Board of Directors and we’ve come up with some ways to relieve
stress on the job at Laurel Mountain Company.
Stretch, play, nap, yawn (lowers BP), run for no
reason, drink lots of water, love unconditionally, and live simply. Did I mention that my Board of Directors is
made up of my dogs, Zeva and DixieLee?
Now that Laurel Mountain Basket Company is a
stress-free company, we are prepared to help you become stress-free, at least
as far as helping you manage your gift giving needs. Just give us a call and we’ll do the rest.
Stay Calm,
Marie
