Why Workplace Stress is a Killer

If you ask yourself: “Why should I care about Job Stress?”, then more than 10 years of science research will give you the answer.

You need to care about Job Stress because it puts you at serious risk for the following:

• sudden death,
• heart attacks,
• cardiovascular disease,
• cancer,
• strokes,
• diabetes,
• anxiety and depression and
• painful family problems.

Studies show that chronic Job Stress can not only raise your blood pressure, double your risk of dying suddenly, or of dying slowly from heart disease or diabetes, but it can also make you psychologically miserable and destroy your marriage while having a devastating impact on your children.

The Nature of Work is Changing

Consider this: Job Stress is now the single greatest source of stress for American, European and Asian adults. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tell us why:

“The nature of work is changing at whirlwind speed…. now more than ever before, Job Stress poses a threat to the health of workers and, in turn, to the health of organizations. Job Stress is now the single greatest threat to employee health.”

The Epidemic is Worldwide…and Growing Worse

Add to this the fact that financial stress that is often the flip side of Job Stress and it becomes a scourge. That’s one reason why a United Nations Report called Job Stress the Epidemic of our time.

The World Health Organization agreed, calling Job Stress “A World Wide Epidemic” and Stress the “#1 Health Problem in the Industrialized World”.  According to Dr. Paul Rosch preeminent medical scientist and president of the American Institute of Stress, Job Stress has gotten so bad we’re running out of warning labels and phrases to put on it.

There’s some good news in realizing all this. Because you can’t solve a problem until you know what that problem is. Makes sense right? Well we now know what Job Stress is and what it does.  And recent research has clarified the important mechanisms through which Job Stress damages both mind and body.

And so if you want to avoid becoming another Job Stress “heart attack” statistic, or “stroke” victim, or “diabetes” patient, you can-if you learn how.  Keep in mind that no one expects these problems to happen to them-but they slam into people with chronic work stress every day.

Can You Dodge the Job Stress Bullet?

If you learn how to deal with your Job Stress, you will avoid becoming a Job Stress statistic, victim or casualty, and you will live a whole lot better and longer. You will also avoid the kind of relationship and marriage problems that lead to conflict, separation and divorce. And your children won’t lead lives of wounded failure, as do many children in families drowning in Job Stress driven anger, anxiety, tension, depression, and indifference.

You want that right? So let’s take a look at what you need to know and do to save yourself and your family a lot of aggravation, damage and suffering.

Is Your “Stress Faucet” Leaking?

Think of it this way, your workplace stress truns on what we call your “Stress Faucet”, a faucet that then leaks toxic stress chemicals into your body, chemicals are also known as stress hormones.

This brings us to your core problem. These stress chemicals or hormones seep into your blood and tissues, where they linger and harm your mind and body. What makes this especially dangerous is that all this happens under the radar.  That means you don’t really see it- until the damage is done.

The problem is that you are hard wired to release stress hormones through what’s known as the”Fight or Flight Response”. But this hormone release is meant to happen only in the face of life threatening danger and then only for short periods of time. In fact, your hard wiring was designed for a much simpler time, a time that is long gone.

Today the complexity of your work life leaves you prone to fear, worry, anger, frustration, and confusion. And unfortunately a part of your brain mistakes these feelings for life threatening danger and turns on your Stress Faucet by mistake.  Keep in mind that work and money represent survival so frequent worries about them can cause chronic fight or flight alarm.

Here’s the Question You Need to Ask Yourself

Now only you can turn your Stress Faucet off and wash stress hormones out of your system. You might ask yourself: “Just how important is it that I learn how to do this?”  First consider that the payoff is immediate. That is you will feel a whole lot better, have more energy and more confidence right away.

And while you ponder the question, consider what world class scientists have said about stress and stress hormones,  as follows:

“The prolonged release of stress hormones can impair our immune system and leave us open to invasions of cancer cells and dangerous infections.”

-Dr. Bruce McEwen, Former Director of Rockefeller University’s Neuroendocrine Laboratory

“In our modern society, stress…hormones continue to wash through the system in high levels, never leaving. Stress leads to serious health problems”

-Drs. Chrousos and Gold, Senior National Institute of Health Scientists

“The long-term activation of the stress-response system – and the subsequent overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones – can disrupt almost all your body’s processes, increasing your risk of obesity, insomnia, digestive problems, heart disease, depression, memory impairment, physical illnesses and other complications.”

- Mayo Clinic Staff

“Chronic stress kills. People wear down. Stress is linked to the six leading causes of death ….”

-Drs. Lyle H. Miller and Alma Dell Smith, Senior Stress Researchers

“When work loses soul, people work harder and longer for fewer rewards at joyless jobs, jobs they have little say about, authority in or control over.”
