It’s not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.
Hans Selye
tress, as we understand it, is sad and also bad and often terrible. It is the feeling of being emotionally burdened and under too much emotional and mental pressure. A little bit of stress is quite normal, and it can help you achieve lots of great things in your professional and personal life, but when it goes out of control, it can lead to serious illness. That’s why everyone emphasizes reducing stress levels at home so as to avoid mental and physical health issues.
Sustained Stress: There were times when the response to demands and threats was not prolonged or sustained like today’s time. Instead, stress was quite essential for survival, so demands and threats were faced and reactions were made, and life went on.
However, in today’s time, stressors like family relationships, work and finances seem to be exaggerated and prolonged. At times, they seem to stack and plot against us. We are in a big need to reduce stress at home for the sake of our physical health. Sustaining worrisome thoughts for a long can lead to complaints like depression, anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, irritability and other types of distresses.
We really need to reduce tensions even though the causes cannot be reduced. That brings us to one of the most basic concerns and an important part of stress management. What causes the stress in your life and how can it be managed?
