tension come from

Mental Tension comes from having too much to do and not having enough time to do it, not having a planning and priority action system in place, and dealing with pressure deadlines and demands - which creates feelings of overload, panic, anxiety, frustration and intensity.
Physical Tension comes from muscles tightening up because you are sitting for hours in front of a desk/computer, or being on your feet all day, without a break - which creates neck pain, back spasms, headaches, chest tightness and fatigue (all of which takes your focus away from your work and reduces your productivity).
Emotional Tension comes from bottling up your feelings and not expressing your point of view, especially when dealing with difficult customers, demanding clients, or negative colleagues. Whether it be handling a sales rejection, dealing with a confrontation, or resolving a complaint, emotional tension leads to distraction, increase in errors, poor decision making, emotional exhaustion, and job apathy.
Personal Tension comes from not having time for yourself (your personal, health and social needs), and feeling like an extension of work - always being in 'on mode'. Not having a good balance between work and personal life is a recipe for burn out, relationship tension, health problems and motivational slumps.
