Even if you love what you do, there are plenty of days (weeks?) when work can grind on you. When that happens, there’s a tendency to convert that stress into negative behaviors which, in turn, cause the cycle of stress to intensify. The question remains: How do you stop the cycle?

2. Impressing
3. Clinging

5. Whining
6. Controlling
7. Criticizing
8. Preaching
