Is anyone at a stressful job?!


Question:

Is anyone at a stressful job?

Who is at a stressful job? What is it and what are you doing to cope? What would you rather do?


Answers:

I worked at a very stressful job for many years. I finally gave it up thinking that, in order to preserve my health and sanity, I had to do something else. At first I was very happy with my new career but within a year my stress levels had shot up to an all time high. I wasn't sure how to cope so I sought out some professional counseling. After a few sessions I came to realize that the problem was not in the job...but the way I was approaching it. I have a control issue so I was unable to delegate any responsibility to anyone else. I was making most of the important decisions myself and taking responsibility for any failures or deviations. It took a long time but I "reprogrammed" my thinking. I now delegate a great deal of responsibility....recognize my limitations and live by the philosophy that regardless of any decision everyone has a 50-50 chance of being right or wrong. I don't beat myself up any more over work issues.....realizing that there are 50 million people in the world who could care less about what I am doing. If it is not life threatening then it is not a threat....best wishes
