Job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults, according to The American Institute of Stress http://www.stress.org/workplace-stress/.

The main causes of workplace stress cited are:

46% – workload, 28% – people issues, 20% – juggling work and personal lives, 6% – lack of job security.stress

We all respond to and cope with stress differently. However, it is reasonable to assume that these statistics are similar in South Africa. In addition, stress levels in South Africa may be exacerbated by other factors, such as matters associated with political uncertainty, crime and corruption.

Uncontrolled stress can shrink your performance and contribute to many health problems, such as:

High blood pressure, headaches, back and neck pain, fatigue, sleep problems, obesity, reduced sex drive, anxiety, depression, drug or alcohol abuse, smoking, social withdrawal, exercising less often and other problems.
