Stress and pressure can affect personal relationships, work performance and health. As levels of stress rise it is important to understand how we manage the situation. A certain amount of stress is a good thing, it is important that we recognise when are personal stress levels are beginning to be exceeded. We can also help our colleagues if we can identify their symptoms of stress and help them in these situations. Over a long period of time stress can be a major concern and it will be extremely detrimental to our health and well being. However once stress is correctly identified it can be positively channelled to aid work and play.
