Monitors Offer Real Peace of Mind
I work in a very high stress, high pressure job. Twelve hour days aren’t uncommon for me and that doesn’t include my commuting time or having to answer emails on the weekend. I really got concerned about the long-term impact my career could have on my health. I mean, I love my job but I don’t love it enough that it’s worth taking years off my life. I found keeping blood pressure monitors at home and at work was worth the small financial investment. If I’m feeling really stressed, I check my blood pressure quickly, so I know if it’s time for a break or to do some quick stretching. This little step has made me feel more in control of my health, which probably lowered my blood pressure as well!
