Change is a fact of life. Job changes, promotions, single parenting, aging parents — today's common stresses at work and home may leave you feeling helpless, angry, or depressed. You can't always control change, but you can control your response to it.

Stress is a natural part of your personal and work life. Some aspects of it are positive in that the conditions leading to stress often get you to take action when you might not otherwise.

 
However, stress itself may lead to or contribute to a number of problems that make your life more difficult both at home and in the work place. Hopefully, you can start recognizing and dealing with your stress more effectively.
