Monday Nov 23 2009 When we know that there is an end to a particularly strenuous period of work, we can feel energized and become even more productive. When we think that the flow of work is endless or that we have no choice in the matter, then we may begin to break down, feel disempowered, become tired. Life begins to feel like a burden. I have found that resolving these kinds of chronic negative moods about workload and feeling overwhelmed begins by[Read More]
Friday Nov 20 2009 I think the most common complaints I hear from folks in corporations these days is that they are ‘just tired’, have ‘low energy’ or are ‘burned out’. Usually these declarations are accompanied by a compelling story that there is ‘too much work’ or that they are pressed to produce without having the resources they need. It seems people are working in a condition in which they are being constantly called on to produce more for less. The results: poor morale (at best), an environment of stress (at worst), breakdowns in people’s health, lower productivity, and even (in extreme cases) sabotage. But what do these statements mean?

In 2008, the theme of the World Health Day was on protecting health from the adverse affects of climate change. For me, the year was about protecting my health from the adverse affects of stress, chronic illness and my workaholic tendencies. Being ill has been the most complete learning experience I could have asked for—a life-changing blessing in disguise. Not only have I discovered[Read More] Tagged with: chronic_illness exercise health stress workaholic
Thursday Dec 06 2007  By Stu Whitley | BioNo voice divine the storm allay'd, There are probably more things at work in the human mind than we will ever know. Too often the turmoil we confront in our daily lives gets the better of us, and we succumb to a depressed state for a day, a month, or perhaps longer*. The above stanza brilliantly captures the sense of isolation, despair and torment in the mind of someone who is incapable of seeing the world with a balanced perspective. Cowper, who was not capable of being diagnosed as such in the 18th century, probably suffered from recurrent depression. [Read More]
