Feeling stressed? You’re not alone.
In fact, a recent study from Janus Henderson Investors, FPA, and Investopedia sought to measure the levels of stress today finding that 63% of investors say they experience moderate or high levels of negative stress in their lives. And it’s only gotten worse over the last 12 months.
While positive stress can be a good thing by nudging us in the direction of our goals, it’s the personal and professional implications of negative stress that we should worry about. This “bad stress” can affect our sleep, mood, decision making abilities, and evenour professional lives—in not so good ways. For investors seeking to plan a long and comfortable retirement, reducing this stress is critical.
Consider 3 steps to help regain control over your stress:
Take time to understand the sources of your stress, and your reaction to them.
Develop new strategies to cope with life’s challenges.
Seek help: Invest in yourself by hiring a personal trainer and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER.
