They keep the normal stress levels down consistently across the day.
a lot of the stress encountered during the day is from not having the chance to have your own reaction to it. We’re just expected to move on, absorbing the stress as we go.
That's interesting. I just came across a book "Breaking through Depression" by Dr. Philip William Gold, where he links depression to a mis-regulated stress-response system in the brain.
That feels right to me.
Experiencing long-term stress without a good way to manage it is draining and exhausting.
One example - we just had a major upheaval at work due to poor or mis-management. Got the notice that we had to pack up and move our department *within a week*, a week ago last Friday when I came in after being on the road!
WTF!...................... WTF!
(There were rumblings for the last couple of months, but no clear notification till now, then the scramble. Can I sue for malpractice?

Anyway, I was gutted for the day, wanted to curl into a ball....
Better now after processing things and letting my boss know how ridiculous and wrong this was...
