You seem to be doing a good job of doing what's best for you. The less that we care about what our co-workers think the better choices we can make based on the situation, not people's feelings.

Initially I felt guilty closing the door but I am starting to care less what other people think about my closed door. When I have a pile of projects that are all on deadline, and my boss adds to it, I get stressed. I try to just take things one thing at a time. I also try to touch every project every day so I know the status of everything.

It's surprising how much stress is caused by external things such as bullies, but we should also be aware of internal influences such as hormones and body aches. The more aware we are of our stress the better we can deal with it. Thanks Shamelle!

I can relate to that! “Most of our stress doesn’t come from the work itself” So so true! I can relate to that!
