Stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand placed on it. Stress can create feelings of conflict and/or anxiety within an individual. Stress can stem from demands people place on themselves or from external situations.

Some stress is easily identified, such as increased financial responsibilities; while other stress, such as feeling that you must earn peer acceptance, may go undetected. If stress is not identified and resolved, it can progressively deteriorate the bodies ability to function.

Except for major catastrophes, few events are stressful in themselves. Stress arises when you perceive a situation as threatening. For example, your morning commute may make you anxious and tense because you worry that traffic will make you late. Others, however, may find the trip relaxing because they allow more than enough time and enjoy listening to music while they drive.

 



Stress is often associated with situations that you find difficult to handle. How you view things also affects your stress level. If you have very high expectations, chances are you'll experience more than your fair share of stress.

Stress can be linked to external factors such as:

The state of the world, the country, or any community to which you belong
Unpredictable events
The environment in which you live or work
Work itself
Family

Stress can also result from your own:

Irresponsible behavior
Poor health habits
Negative attitudes and feelings
Unrealistic expectations
Perfectionism
