Feeling stressed at work? Are UK approaches just not working? Then why not check out
this video from CBS News in the US in which a psychologist is interviewed about how you know when you've entered the stress "red zone", what to do about it and some common mistakes.
Most of it is pretty familiar, although I hadn't been on the lookout for teeth clenching as a symptom in the past. The clip suggests making sure you do something you enjoy outside of work to try to balance some of the work-related stress.
Of course when talking about stress one should not ignore the working conditions that induce stress in the first place. There is
a good piece by Unison's Helga Pile on Community Care's Student Zone which also looks at legal responsibilities and what your employer should do.
