Micro-stressors

Ahoy there!

We wanted to touch upon micro-stressors.

A micro-stressor can be anything from waiting in a long queue to waiting on the phone for an extensive amount of time.

A micro-stressor is exactly that, anything acute that causes stress.

What we should have said here is that anything "that seems acute"

It may sound comical to say that a phone call to pay a utility bill has caused you a sense of stress.

It may sound comical to say that a long queue or a long wait has caused you stress.

However these "micro-stressors" do add up, and crucially they need to be identified, channeled, and controlled.

You may have a sense of first world problems when reading this article, but the reason why micro-stressors are such a threat is because they a more masked compared to more major stressors.

As always, all the best in your endevour!
