Ah, the joys of earning a living while keeping sane!

When work is great, quite often one's personal relationships are rather swimming too. After all, a decrease of stress at the office enables people to park their work problems when they're home relaxing.

When corporate politics latches onto you with all the fervor of a blood-hungry mosquito, then one's happy outlook often changes. What should be a relaxing time at home can turn into a "hey, I can't take it out on my idiot boss at the office...let's snap at my partner instead! After all, s/he will understand!"

Obviously, this can be fraught with really lousy consequences.

Let's take another scenario! what if (oh, let's think of a crazy example) the economy develops more holes than swiss cheese and hundreds of thousands of people are laid off and companies fall faster than an avalanche and ... you get the picture. Maybe add to that a partner who gets awfully confused when it takes more than 6 months to land a new position. Then it is a weeeee bit more difficult to maintain your Inner personal edge, eh?

Difficult, but not impossible.

Stress can be good - it can spur you to reassess your strengths, your abilities, your weaknesses and more. Not properly channeled, however, stress can not only ruin your health but also blunt your Inner Personal Edge to a dullness surpassed only by unsalted, limp spagetti.

The Inner Personal Edge will reveal to you not only tested stress-coping techniques for the above, but also provide ideas that will let you take that tension and use it to your advantage. You might already have that negative energy within you...instead of letting it sap your strength and sabotage your relationships, you can instead turn it around for positive results.
