      its both – I really like my job (I’ve been doing it for over 30 years). it can get stressful when you are trying to finish something to meet a deadline. Or if you cant quite see what to do next – but that is when you go and speak to other people to get their ideas too (its pretty impossible to have all the answers and ideas yourself)

      Yes to both. I don’t think that a stressful job means that you can’t be happy with it. The most important thing is to set clear boundaries and don’t let the work stress interfere with private life.

      It can be stressful, but the most stressful job I’ve ever done was working at a supermarket. It depends what you find stressful though! For me the lights and noise and people in a supermarket are very overstimulating.

      Yes, it can be stressful from time to time – that’s just how life is at times. The thing is to not let that stress get in the way of things. To do that you need a way to switch off and stop thinking about it and for me, that is my trail running that does that.

      Stress can be helpful at times to get you to do things that you have been putting off or avoiding. Just make sure you are in control as much as you can be.
