Stress Busting With Humor
Kelli Vrla, CSP


Spinning plates? Dropping a few? About to pull your hair out? Have you reached your last straw? REALITY CHECK: Statistics show we work one-third of our lives, sleep one-third of our lives, and spend the final one-third of our lives with home and hobbies. Stress from our work lives is now creeping over into our home lives and vice versa. Most of us have reached a breaking point and we’ve quite frankly had enough. Harvard Business Review says we’re all in the middle of at least 15 things at once, diminishing our effectiveness and adding to our burn out. Organizations are asking staffs to do more with less. It also is a tall order to steadfastly recognize, measure and uphold employee engagement. Health care professionals are especially vulnerable to burnout and disengagement, which makes it difficult to improve patient satisfaction and care quality. In fact, daily stress, compassion fatigue, overachiever personality types, long hours and lots of changes are hallmarks of the patient care industry today. GOOD NEWS!
