When you think of relaxation, you think of meditating in the morning, or taking a hot bath at night—perhaps a glass of wine is in the picture too.

Are you concerned about the lacklustre response from your team lately? Are you seeing low productivity and quality of work slipping? Are your staff complaining about workload and time constraints? Are they off sick more often? You are not alone. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 47 per cent of Canadians are reporting feeling stressed anywhere from several days a week to all the time. Doing more with less, long work days and commutes, sedentary lifestyles and the day-to-day pressures of two-income families are just a few of the reasons employees are feeling burnt out.

Constant stress is rough on your family. It’s also terrible for being more creative.
But did you know it’s actually physically bad for your brain as well? Recent research out of the University of California, Berkeley, offers sobering news for business owners battling chronic stress. The work was done by Daniela Kaufer, a professor of integrative biology, and colleagues. It peered into the brain to look at how being stressed out over a long period of time actually affects the physical structure of the brain. Via The Learning Factor

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others. Via Barb Jemmott
