Stress: Good or Bad?
From the Be Good to Yourself Blog
by Angela Even
This blog is about caring for your most valuable asset: you. You cannot provide value to anyone if you are not operating at peak performance, so your most successful project should be you. I will uncover key leadership techniques, recommendations and theories related to working remotely and improving employee outcomes. Topics will include self-management, self-awareness and self-care, along with emotional intelligence, empathy, collaboration, relationship building, establishing trust, mental health awareness, remote work and e-leadership.

Project management is known as a very stressful job. The success or failure of a project and, inevitably, the happiness of the customer and all stakeholders involved a ride on the shoulders of the project manager. This can be a massive burden to bare. The project manager is accountable for the project's outcome, and many project managers are not comfortable reaching out when they feel that the stress may be too much for them to handle. High-stress levels can harm your health, behavior, attitude, success, and family (Teak, 2015). Of course, not all stress is bad, but if managing a project begins to hurt a project manager's job, health, and life, there is help.

Dear Angela
Very interesting the theme that brought to our reflection and for debate
Thanks for sharing and for your tips.
I am convinced that if there is no stress, life ends.

Each project brings trepidation, curiousity and excitement.
I agree with both of you. I know that stress propels me. However, I do sometimes feel it’s negative affects.
Without some stress, I might procrastinate endlessly. Have you heard the theory that procrastination is actually a way of relieving pain?

Another aspect to consider is the anxiety caused by running multiple projects at once or by a continuous shift in priorities on what is urgent and important.
When everything is urgent and important (which is almost never true), stress levels will increase and so will the chances of experiencing a burn-out. Keeping focus and cold-headed are key!

Procrastination is a decision to defer current pain. The question is whether your deferred pain compounds "interest".

These are all useful methods for controlling project outcomes and helpful to remember for dealing with most situations that require coherent thought.
