Career Reset

When Work Shifts, What Keeps You Moving?

Work stress becomes dangerous when it turns into constant job strain, uncertainty, or a feeling that effort and reward are out of balance. Research has linked prolonged job stress to sleep disturbance, anxiety, blood pressure changes, and worse overall health, and it can also narrow your thinking so much that you make short-term survival decisions instead of strategic ones. If a career shift is not handled well, it can drain confidence, relationships, and energy in ways that outlast the job itself.
