When pressure at work interferes with your ability to perform in your job, manage your personal life, or adversely impacts your health, it's time to take action. Start by paying attention to your physical and emotional health. When your own needs are taken care of, you're stronger and more resilient to pressure. The better you feel, the better equipped you'll be to manage work pressure without becoming overwhelmed.

Taking care of yourself does not require a total lifestyle overhaul. Even small things can lift your mood, increase your energy, and make you feel like you are back in the driver's seat. Take things one step at a time and as you make more positive lifestyle choices, you will soon notice a reduction in your pressure levels, both at home and at work.
