Get Rid Of The Stress For Good Each And Every Day :
WHY is this important?
Stress weather at work or during job search really gets to you :
-
Stress can cause high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases, cancer, heart disease, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and more.
-
Stress will make you burn out lose your energy and your focus you cannot be successful if stress takes over
-
The main thing putting pressure and stress on you is your inner voice we have an amazing ability to lose balance and harm ourselves
What can you do about it
-

-
Start the day with reflection weather it is meditation, prayer or taking just 5 minutes for refection start your day by clearing your mind and setting your own goals for yourself

They focus on the positive instead dwelling on the negative
-
Be precise do not just feels bad realise what it is making you feel that way and how you can move things and yourself forward

What else could I do
Try to avoid an argument but if you are in one :
-
Forgive but do not forget it is easier to forgive and move on than wasting energy time and health on holding a grudge that does not mean forget or give a person a second chance to harm you it will enable to move you forward with less frustration and if in the future that person will try to harm you again you will immediately protect yourself from that
Focus on what you can achieve
Set yourself up for success not for failure :
