What is Stress? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stress (mental and physical) is the body’s process of coping with something that may cause fear. Stress is a fight or flight (fight or flight) physiological response and helps a person determine how to respond to an event or stimulus – whether to cope or avoid. A certain amount of stress is needed to help people test their endurance and realize their potential. However, an unreasonable amount of stress causes human suffering and leads to exhaustion of mental energy. Internal and external factors can cause stress and sometimes a combination of both. Family conflicts, work and academic pressures, and money create externalities. Low self-esteem, depression and inflexibility are some of the internal factors. It can be active in any form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Stress Management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stress, as we know it, is a feeling we all have every day. So, is all stress bad? Or is it okay to have stress? Do we know what stress is? Stress is primarily a physical response. So when our body gets all this from our environment, and those make us feel attacked, we start reacting to those in our own ways. Our body is chemically tuned to go to \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode under stressful and difficult situations. Hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol and epinephrine are released in those situations, which allows us to fight or fight the stress-evoking situations. These hormones initiate a lot of reactions in our body, from blood being diverted to muscles to shutting down unnecessary bodily functions such as digestion so if you are wondering why you always end up having indigestion when under stress, it is simply because your body doesn\u2019t feel necessary to digest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, your internal factors depend on your nutritional status, overall health and fitness levels, emotional well-being and the amount of sleep and rest you give your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
