Temporary Job and Permanent Stress

Abstract

In daily life we all are stressed-knowingly or unknowingly. As rightly said by a great  philosopher  Epictetus, that “People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.” So it can be understood that stress by nature has become a part and parcel of everyday life and in today’s cut throat competition, nobody is truly stress free. Seeing the condition of society it feels like nobody on this planet is stress free so the teachers are. Only those who are either not born or are dead are stress free. Stress is a very serious problem as it impairs one’s capabilities and have direct adverse impact on performance. If stress is not tackled properly on time it may lead to many emotional and physical problems. Teachers especially those who are appointed on temporary bases or on contractual bases are always work under stress, because of their status of being temporary. Although their job is temporary but stress becomes permanent. This paper is an attempt to suggest some ways to manage stress among temporary or contractual teachers also this paper explains significant impacts of stress on the body and how to take these stress levels down to a manageable point.
