This quote came to mind while thinking about today's book. Just as the good things we do accumulate over time, so do the not-so-good things we do. It was the jinn Dryden who wrote that first we make our habits, then our habits make us. This is the case with the daily stresses that we tolerate, our guest calls these microstresses.
“Microstress: small moments of stress triggered by people in our personal and professional lives; stresses so routine that we barely register them but whose cumulative toll is debilitating.
In its annual State of the Workplace survey, Gallup found that only 33 percent of respondents were "thriving" in their well-being, with 44 percent of employees reporting
feeling “a lot” of stress during a typical workday – an all-time high.1 But the consequences of this new form of stress are little recognized or adequately studied. The toll is so subtle that we barely register it, but the cumulative effect can derail even the highest achievers, both personally and professionally.
