According to a recent Colonial Penn Life Insurance study, 20% of workers are spending up to five hours per week thinking about their stressors and worries. Worrying may be the single most costly personal and business problem in existence, yet finding relief from it can feel so elusive. When you worry, your mind becomes stuck in a cycle of stress as it tries to analyze, prevent, or find a solution for some threat in order to prevent its negative effect. When fears are vague and you don't have all the information, exaggerated worries can mount. Rather than suffer in this cycle, consider contacting the EAP or a professional counselor or health provider to find relief and calm your mind.
