Micro-Stress, Burnout & Your Nervous System
If your life is anything like mine, it's filled with micro-stress.
A frustrating text from your spouse while you're in the middle of a project...
A co-worker who dropped the ball and left you with extra work...
Missing the train and being ten minutes late for a meeting...
While each incident may seem small and insignificant, collectively, they add up.
According to a recent article on micro-stress published in the Harvard Business Review:
"The long-term impact of this buildup is debilitating: It saps our energy, damages our physical and emotional health, and contributes to a decline in our overall well-being."
From my experience these constant, unaddressed micro-stressors are the #1 cause of most work related anxiety & burnout.
