In today’s highly demanding and technologically advanced world, finding the right balance between work demands and our personal life is less than easy, which is why stress psychology can provide crucial support.
Stress psychology understands that stress is a natural outcome of the incredible array of tasks we are required to balance and occurs when there are too many demands for the resources we have at hand.
Working hard and achieving career goals, looking after our health, managing family responsibilities, finding time for our partners and friends, paying bills and getting time for rest and relaxation becomes a constant juggling act.
When these things get out of balance, we see people experiencing high levels of:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Frustration
- Depression
- Ill health
- Relationship issues
Achieving balance and harmony between all of these parts of our lives requires us to understand what is truly important to us; what we want our life to be about, so we can take action in line with our values and prevent stress and other feelings of discomfort.
