Jobs and Heart Attacks
This morning I was watching Good Morning America and was particularly interested in Dr. Timothy Johnson’s report on how job stress contributes to heart problems (potentially, heart attacks). Apparently, enough stress can cause more than one heart attack. So — bad jobs can lead to bad health? Like some of you, my work history includes the job that had me driving to work with the knot in the stomach. I’ve had the job with the boss that played mind games with staff, and the job with a staff member who tried to get me fired so she could have my job. I finally decided the answer for me was to be my own boss. I still have stress, but I have more control over it. As we head into the holiday season (prime time for planning career change), those of you sucking down Pepto to get through another work day are going to be mulling over your own escape. Whether you decide to change your job or entire career path, start your own thing, or re-establish yourself within your current job– hang out with me here. I think we can wean you off of that Pepto and maybe prevent a heart attack with some great ideas and support.
