Life's to short to be stressed. Love your family, eat good food, and lift heavy weights.
Life will then be grand.
Or I have a few of orgasms.
the stress in my current role (which has nearly broken me) is mostly about KNOWING what we need to do to work better and developing the tools / resources to get there, but being faced with a culture of indifference, apathy, unionism and poor culture.
work stress is a new concept for me. its only been in the last 12 months that i've come across it - and only in a management capacity. i can not tolerate working with idiots, game players and lazy folk. just. can't. take. it.
i'm looking at a solo / project role where i can knuckle down and get work done at my pace (fast), to my level of satisfaction (high), and where i can expect my work to be implemented top down and don't have to deal with the fall out.

I think it's important to regularly reflect on all the good things in your life. First and foremost, this means the people you care about. Also, the good things about yourself, whether they be achievements (career, weights, sporting, school...whatever) or personal characteristics (your kindness, humour, determination, persistence....or whatever it is that you see as positive traits in yourself).
If you can learn to recognise the good in your world, then you will generally be calmer and less susceptible to stress attacks. When stressful situations do arise you have to learn to try and put yourself 'outside' the situation and analyse it almost as a spectator....."What's happening here? What's the true cause of this? What's the best solution?"
I'm union, I'm certainly not anti union. I'm anti staff refusing to perform tasks in their pd and using the union, call ins, as a means of threatening service provision. Our service is supporting vulnerable youth. I'm anti someone telling me they have 300 hrs of sick leave and will use it to avoid working with specific people/ on shifts requiring certain tasks. I marched with ASU, but I don't phone them everytime I'm asked to do something I don't want to. The culture is one of grass roots bullying, threats and intimidation upwards. They've set it over 15 yrs , I'm 5 months in haha. Appreciate your perspective, but this group is militant, litigious and difficult . I'm fair, reasonable and do my best to walk the line with them when I can.
