Articles on Stress

Are you looking for articles on stress so that you can understand your own stress more fully? The following are a selection of articles which go into some depth to explain the different areas of stress.

These articles are all from personal experience - relating to the different experiences I have had with stress over the years.

The truth is that I have read many, many articles on stress over the years.

I remember in the months after I left university starting a new job in sales.

It was not the job I wanted but had applied to the areas I did want and not succeeded in getting a job. The stress of no money got the better of me.

But once I started the job, boy, did I need stress relief! Before going in the doors each day I had to psyche myself up.

My job was to make 50 cold calls a day and on average I made one sale a week. That made for a whole lot of rejection and a whole lot of stress!

It was around this time that I started to digest articles about stress and stress management. I read Deepak Chopra, the Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, Susan Jeffers, meditation books, relaxation books, new age books…

I wanted to learn some way of managing my stress. And it started to work, my stress levels decreased.

But I remember being in a pub after work one day holding a book by Louise Hay. One of my colleagues asked what I was reading, “You too can heal your life,” I replied. The look she gave me lives with me still! Her jaw dropped and I don’t think she ever spoke to me again! Salesmen didn’t read that type of thing!

So these articles are my own personal experience over the years and a lot of the information that I have digested.
