Think about what is stressing you out and can it be changed or modified. Is it likely the same situation will be present at another job?

For example, if keeping up with an aggressive schedule is stressing you out, look for work where this won't be as big a factor. If a long commute is stressing you out, look for work closer by or telecommute only opportunities.

Many of these adjustments might be possible within your current job. However, things like toxic, bullying, co-workers or management might mean a change in scenery is long overdue.

One caution I would give is that you have to be careful not to jump from the proverbial pot into the fire. Sometimes we think moving on might be the thing to do, only to find the situation is worse after the change. I've done this twice myself. Carefully evaluate the situation and make sure your needs will be addressed by the change. Don't change for the sake of change.
