Contracting is rewarding but is stressfull. Saying it isn't is in my opinion being in dangerous denial that will catch up sooner rather than later.
The wonderful rewards coming with contracting are offset with (i) constantly working to tight deadlines.. (ii) an endless striving to keep up with technology... (iii) with contracting comes renewal time - often wondering whether the project is to continue.. and if not (iv) waiting by the phone wondering if its the agency calling you to go for an interview.... then (v) having to be fast on the pick up when accepted into an environment thats completely new... where you (vi) are always the outsider having to be a friend to employee who at times views you as less than one of those from within their own fold.
The list goes on. I'm sure you will have plenty more to add to the list.
The point however is this stress has to go somewhere and that somewhere is your body. Now I know I am preaching to myself as one of the converted but the most important question is how is it with you?
To what extent in your view is dropping the stress lodged in your body and healing important?
