      1st Experienced Example

      "I consider myself to be very good at handling stress. Being a goal-oriented person, I find happiness in obtaining goals and consider any necessary stresses in pursuit of a goal healthy. Outside of work, I am an active person. I train for marathons and spend a lot of time outdoors with my family. I find that these activities cleanse my mind and heal my body to prepare for a new week on the job."

      2nd Experienced Example

      "When I maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and spend as much time as possible outside of work with my children, any unnecessary work stresses are put on the back burner and often relieved immediately. I believe in a healthy work-life balance, even if that is tough in our field. Having the ability to answer a client email or phone call during off-hours while unwinding has improved our work lives."
