pressures or worries. No need to get up until 11am, if at all You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. You have absolutely no responsibilities!

In fact you have have positive stress (to get you motivated, like a reasonable deadline, or need to be on time for something) as well as negative stress (such as too many unrealistic deadlines, or a badly planned schedule).

According to Deepak Chopra, the health, wellness and spirituality guru:
‘Stress is the number one epidemic of our time, directly or indirectly responsible for cardio problems and inflammation’
And Deepak isn’t alone in this view.
Business today runs 24/7 thanks to modern technology, but this ‘always on’ lifestyle takes its toll on the body, making it no surprise that stress is now a factor in:
· 75-90% of visits to doctors’ surgeries across the globe
· 128 million lost working days in the UK alone, at a cost of £12.4 billion per year
· 40% of all medical insurance claims (tripled since 1991)
· 400% increase in adults taking antidepressants since 1988
Indeed, 40% of workers find their jobs to be “very” or “extremely” stressful, and 36% “often” or “very often” feel used up at the end of the day. These stats support the view that stress is a big issue for us as individuals, business owners and governments. Moreover, the problem doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), if left untapped, stress-related disorders, which include heart disease and depression, will be the top two leading causes of disability in adults by 2020.
