"I'm a stress monster! I live it, I eat it for breakfast, it's mine!"
Maybe we don't say it like that, but we live it. We consume stress like it's food--we horde it, we relish telling others how much stress we own. We take a certain amount of pride in being too busy to see straight and too burned out to do something about it. At some point, we look around and realize that everything we touch is sullied by stress. Somehow, we let our lives get away from us again.
Then, we get consumed by guilt for being stressed. It's a yucky cycle that we pass on to our coworkers, our families, our friends.
