SURVEY! What effect does stress have on your career, relationships or health?
Below are your responses to the question, “What effect does stress have on your career, relationships or health?
* All of it!! Stress can be so powerful that it can consume one’s self!! It’s not healthy in anyway! 
Speaking from experience!
* Stress makes me a very unpleasant person. It puts stress on relationships and is never good for your health. I try to Stay happy and focus on the positive:)
* I meditate regularly makes a huge difference 
to my whole life almost never stressed for long if at all.
* Stress makes me tired and unable to respond to my husband positively all the time and as such…we argue a lot !!
* It holds me back on all counts…
* low immune system, daily nose bleeds, Irritable bowel, inability to sleep, elevated heart rate, no appetite, 24/7 nausea, dizziness, tiredness, lack of any desire to leave the house or talk to another human being.
* None! I have recently made the CHOICE to not stress about that which I cannot change….and to change that which I can. Not to say that I don’t have stress…but it’s a different kind of stress. Instead of feeling burdened and run down, I feel energized and motivated!
* for me stress= body worn down and immune system is low. At this very moment, stress=pneumonia for health, stress=not working at a job I love, and stress=not seeing people I love becasue I am ill
* Just doesnt make me want to come to the office in the morning and I continuosly count down the days till Friday
* moody, unfocused, overwhelmed, emotional, always tired, and cant sleep well or enough to feel fully rested
* stress makes me forgetful.. I can not remember the simplest things that normally I would never forget.. even my hubby noticed my memory.. but thats what happens to me.. It affects my entire family.
* Not a good one…
* A week’s worth (so far) on angst-ridden insomnia.
* Stress makes me miserable. It makes me depressed and I just want to stay home and be by myself. I have no motivation and it takes all my energy just to crack a smile.
* For me the stress makes me tired, cranky, and gives me full blown migraines. With that then i cannot function and sleep all day.
* health and relationships do okay… career on the other hand…
* I can’t help but think that stress effects all of those places in one’s life, especially if you do not have good stress management tools and skills

There is good stress and unhealthy stress. It seems that the amount of stress and how we manage/control it is different for each individual.
Healthy stress for me is the tension to that keeps me focused on a goal, striving to succeed and the little voice that encourages me to keep at a difficult task and not quitting. It can be motivational!!
Unhealthy stress is when I start to recognize that I either have too much to realistically complete or that something out of my control is happening and I focus/obsess on it too much. The trick to managing the unhealthy stress is recognizing it. Standing up for my own balance and saying I need help or saying ‘No, I will not do XXX’. When I get obsessive on something, I need to stop, breathe, meditate and slow down.
Like everything in life, it is all about balance!!
