Previous Episode: Work Stress and Men

Career dissatisfaction leads to lowered job performance, which leads to more work stress and even less satisfaction with their careers. In other words, a vicious cycle is created as a result of job dissatisfaction. The unfortunate reality is that if you aren’t enjoying the majority of your day-to-day life, or your career, it can take a toll on your wellness. It’s sad how often we feel we have no control over our jobs and have to settle for things that are unsatisfying or aggravating. Chronic stress and depression often go hand in hand. High stress and low self-esteem can lead to lower self-confidence, feelings of unhappiness, and chronic depression. Coping with chronic stress in healthy ways helps us to pursue our career purpose.
