"ARRRRRRRRRRRGH" - yup, me too

So NBCNews.com posted this article today. Read it? Good. Me too. Stress is truely the black plague.
Even in Germany Burn-Out Syndrome has overtaken most companies. Causing costs of about 6.3 Billion in Germany  in Healthcare, 3.3 Billion in Production follwing with the falling out of the employée. Costs after ill-health add up even more (Study from 2009). Now those people who hang onto their jobs are the ones being put under stress easier. Depending on how they deal with things Burn-Out / Stress occurs with harsh results.

Now, the demand for work-life balance has been exploded. Especially since the so called Generation Y is on the job market which is more eager to get family, freetime AND job under one roof. But let me rephrase what I heard the other day and had me cracking up, "Let's face it. Work Life Balance, we all don't have such thing. And everybody knows it."

Before I get all too philosophical about life and todays society, check this for the remedies to keep the stress in check, shown on the TODAY show.

BTW, personally, since my body always faints when being under huge stress, I do squats at work. It helps to wake up and let go of inner screams you saved for coworkers, spouses, family and what or whomsoever.
