Introduction
Modern times are full of change, uncertainty, variable environment and unpredictable human behavior. But then, each generation has always thought so. Stress management is a recent perspective about a fundamental human fact. Executives undergo stress due to the highly competitive business environment. Their increasing ambitions force them to do many things at the same time and at a very fast pace. As their support networks become weaker, they become tense and do not know where they are going wrong, or, what has hit them.Their tension, consciously or unconsciously, gets transferred to their spouses and other loved ones, who bounce it, back on to them. This stress generation & regeneration cycle continues till the situation becomes explosive.
This vicious cycle needs to be broken in order to facilitate a peaceful and meaningful life.
