Coping with Job stress

Spouses who talk through their job stress and offer support will help them to return to their jobs the next day less agitated, more tolerant of co-workers and their overall situation.and more satisfied with their career choices.

 Those that engage in onesmanship, show no interest or downplay their spouses job quickly become dissatisfied at home and work.

In many cases both the husband and wife have stress in their every day work life and it is often difficult to generate the mental and emotional resources needed to help when your tank is empty.

Those husbands and wife's who are unable to generate coping support at home return to work even more agitated.

Couples need to feel that the communication lines are open.

For our drivers this can be even more difficult because many of the over the road drivers do not go home every day but it is still vital that you keep the lines of communication open with your spouse (maybe even more important).

Sharing your feelings is very important and when you bottle them up inside or refuse to talk about them then only bad can come of it. It will be released in another way, probably in anger and maybe not even at the person or people that originally started your negative feelings.

Sometimes when you say things out loud you may realize that it may not be that bad or by the end of the conversation you can step back and look at things a little different. Either way you need to get it out.

These days we all have stress in our life's, it can come from all different directions. Money of coarse is always the leader but medical is also a big contributing factor.

Do the best you can, cut back, scale down and enjoy the simple things.

My parents were blue collar workers who came into this world with nothing and left with very little.
They did not finish high school and worked to three jobs at a time.
They did not leave me with any great valuable items or great a philosophy of life but my mother would always say " if you have your health you have everything".
I never appreciated those words growing up but as I get older I realize that though my parents did not leave me with much they actually left me with all I really need to know.

 We get caught up so much with the every day and can allow stress to rule our day but in the end as long as you have your health the rest of it does not matter.

We can control the rest.

How many times to you think you have problems then a doctor tells you something about yourself or your spouse or a loved one and the problems you thought you had seem to vanish.

Enjoy every day, share conversations and talk about what stresses you or what concerns that you may have,- and remember-" If you have your health you have everything"
