Do you know when you say your job is killing you? It can be true!

We are so distracted that we barely realize that the stress at work is so great that we end up accepting it as part of our path and our journey.

The illusion of financial stability may harm the need for mental stability and then, we simply get stressed. This, unfortunately, can stimulate some serious consequences for our health.

We are living in times of autopilot, and many of us, motivated by the uncertainties of the pandemic.

The result of this disconnection is creating gaps between who we are, what we wish, and what we feel. What corresponds to our expectations and what corresponds to the expectations of others.

If you are part of the fraction of 17% of the population that says that your work routine does not make you stressed, congratulations.

But, for the rest of us, it is good to understand how frightening ways stress and its consequences can generate in our career and, mainly, our life.

1. Troubled relationships

The American Psychological Association has released a study that working under stress can put risks at risk, especially for men.

Approximately 79% of men and 61% of women said that stress at work is a tool to undermine their services outside the office.

2. Chronic stress

When the brain needs a break from the accumulation of stress at work. Over time, working in an exhausting environment can end up contributing to emotional exhaustion, loss of interest in work, and the prospect of growth.

3. Early aging

Recent research has linked work stress to premature aging, showing that people with a high level of work stress have low levels of telomeres (part of the DNA linked to longevity).

4. Depression

According to a study published in 2011 by the newspaper PLOS ONE, those who work 11 hours a day are 2 times more likely to have depressive episodes than those who work more moderately.

5. Anxiety disorders

In a 2002 study by the Journal Military Medicine approximately 15% out of 500 armed service personnel, reported that stress at work caused emotional disturbances and 8% reported that they experienced levels of stress at work that were sufficient to cause damage to emotional health.

Finally, know that an unhappy and monotonous routine is a routine that limits your personal and professional growth.

PLAN whatever it is, DECIDE to do it and finally, give up what is killing you!

You don't have to QUIT today, but you have to COMMIT Yourself today.

Stop sitting on the fence and choose!
