(Must be stressful to be a “bad” guy.)
On a more serious note, the eye opener for me was when I had a colleague who retired after doing several years of stressful work. He was so filled with happiness knowing that finally he can walk away from all that …. only to undergo a heart bypass two weeks after receiving his retirement pay. He worked himself to that point only to have all the money he has worked for pay for his medical bills. Now I only have to think of my friend on one of my stressful days and it practically makes me stop in my tracks and I remind myself to slow down and avoid the same trap that my friend fell into.

Another way is good planning to lessen stress. Knowing what are the the things that really matter than being drowned in the unimportant and urgent things, could help.
