Learner356 (my names Ernie by the way) thanks for the comments:My strap line is "The 4 Ways To Stop Life Killing You" which includes cardio-exercise;tai chi exercise (as a balance);shiatsu therapy to relax and re-energise and nutritional advice.We are contracted to companies for on-site sessions.
Thank you for the hub. It is very important to discern how critical a situation actually is at work. I know what it feels like to have to make a decision immediately for the sake of a client's health. Actually swimming or walking would be very helpful to relieve pressure.
This is a great hub. Years ago I supervised 6 female subordinates; there was never a dull moment. They ranged in age from 21 - 50+. I felt like I was running a daycare center for the hormonally-challenged! But I loved every minute. Ninety percent of the time, I had to react quickly and appropriately; there wasn't time to develop and implement strategy. I did this job for 13 consecutive years, and all I can say now is "wow"! And you are absolutely correct: "you have to understand how to manage your emotions, your reactions, and how to work well under pressure." There were times when I wanted to hug them; there were also times when I wanted to call 911 for what I "wanted" to do to them. Keep up the good work!
Such a great hub topic! Voted up. People need this!
You are so right about controlling your emotions at work. It's something I've only recently learnt how to do, and it's an ongoing practice every day. Thanks for the great tips! :)

A Hub I have an interest in where Pressure is the greater problem than stress..I believe people know when they are stressed, but pressure can go un-noticed because it builds up over time almost by stealth.Stress is often recognised because all companies should have contingences for it.But pressure is a more personal thing.
