    It is a horrible experience for the partner who has been waiting all day to greet you.

    In today's stupid rat-race existence it must lead to more relationship breakups than even finances.

    Steve, before you go through that door get a grip on yourself.

    One of my own regrets when considering 'the bad times' is exactly the scenario you have described.

    Get out of your vehicle and walk the last 10 minutes home if need be.

    Easier to go back and pick up your car than your marriage.

    Don't bring the work home and Don't bring home to work. Your right the moment you walk through the front door it should be F work. Go to work looking forward to coming home and don't let anyone spoil that.

    Exercise is a recognised way of helping to manage stress.


    From the NHS website...


    "Relaxation can help to relieve the symptoms of stress. It can help you calm down and take a step back from a stressful situation.Although the cause of the anxiety won’t disappear, you will probably feel more able to deal with it once you've released the tension in your body and cleared your thoughts.All relaxation techniques combine breathing more deeply with relaxing the muscles.
    Don't worry if you find it difficult to relax at first. It's a skill that needs to be learned and it will come with practice.
    Yoga and tai chi are both good ways to improve breathing and relaxation.

    Relaxed breathing
    Practise deep breathing at a regular time and in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Loosen or remove any tight clothes, such as shoes or jackets. Be completely comfortable".

    Funny old thing, stress. I find it stressful agreeing with someone when I don't agree with them. Like at work for example....

    Anyhow, stress is recognised by the H.S.E. "Work Related Stress". More common than we might think but hard to prove, unlike a broken toe for example.

    It's said that the stress factor can be counteracted by proper time management ... something my wife & I were discussing this very afternoon, and a skill - I have to confess - I'm not always very good at!

    I do agree to certain degree....

    Are you the sort of person, Arthur, that rolls up for a flight at the last minute or always gives it 3 hours before boarding?

    I'm in permanent stress mode but I have somehow managed to figure out how to keep it within and not affect my life too much.
    I do find a massage and some personal time helps reduce it but I just won't let it affect me anymore - a few years ago it was a different story. I read a few PMA books and an NLP book that helped me stay positive.
    I hope you curb it but its really down to you re-programming your mind to adopt a midset that bans stress.

    ... well ... no - the latter - I'm [usually] organised enough in that respect, I have to say. Perhaps less so in my day to day living habits, however.

    But then ... ... I'm retired.

    the trouble with work stress is that the company knows what is happening , and tell you to slow down and never mind the work, then the next is they are complaning that the work is not being done, never mind, the pays good and better still the weekends getting closer too

    My theory is that those that just roll up at the last minute are not so inclined to be the easily stressed type and those that arrive 3 hours early, maybe the opposite.

    I get there early because I hate queues and I like watching the planes, but I get on the plane last because it's so pointless (and stressful) trying to get to the front of THAT queue.

    ... your theory could easily prove to be right!

    Stress at work can sometimes arise because you feel unable to delegate tasks to others. Look at delegating work to colleagues and also look at perhaps finding ways to better manage your time, including your time out of work.
