I’m not stressed to the point I need time off, but work is a constant source of stress / disquiet in the back of my mind.
I am in a well paid professional role. It involves dealing with difficult people and situations on an ongoing basis and realistically there is always a lot on my to-do list and problems of varying kinds that I need to be sorting or helping people with.
There is never, ever a moment where I can finish the working day with nothing left to do and everyone happy.
This weighs on my mind, not always consciously, but I just have this continuous nagging sensation that things are ‘not okay’.
I’m sure many people find themselves in similar roles - how do you manage? I really need some tips as I am 4 years into this job now and thought managing the stress wold get easier with experience, but it hasn’t really happened that way.
