Stress at work: five signals to take seriously
Stress is not a character flaw. It is information worth listening to before it takes over.
A busy period is not a problem in itself. The risk starts when pressure becomes constant and you no longer recover.
1. Sleep deteriorates: trouble falling asleep, waking at night, tired from the morning.
2. Irritability rises: reactions out of proportion with your team or family.
3. Everything becomes urgent: no more priorities, only fires to put out.
4. Enjoyment fades: what motivated you yesterday becomes a chore.
5. Your body speaks: tension, headaches, digestive problems.
What can you do? Start by naming what weighs on you: workload, pace, a relationship, a decision that keeps dragging on. Then separate what depends on you from what does not. Coaching helps you sort this out and regain control.
