Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world, a necessary part of our daily lives. Defined as anything that stimulates us to act, think, or react. Simple or extreme, necessary in order to force us to accomplish certain tasks. Without stress, our bodies wouldn't react at all, even in times of extreme danger.
Sources of stress
We can experience stress from four fundamental sources, as-
- The Environment– the surroundings can produce stress on us through excessive and competing demands to modify. Examples of environmental stressors include climate, noise, crowding, pollution, traffic, unsafe and substandard housing, and crime.
- Social Stressors– we can experience a couple of stressors arising from the demands of the special social roles we play, which includes parent, spouse, caregiver, and worker. Some examples of social stressors include closing dates, financial problems, job interviews, shows, disagreements, demands and attention, loss of a loved one, divorce, and co-parenting.
- Physiological– Situations and occasions affecting our body may be experienced as physiological stressors. Examples of physiological stressors include rapid increase of youth, menopause, illness, growing old, giving birth, accidents, loss of exercising, lack of nutrients, and sleep disturbances.
- Thoughts– Your brain translates and perceives conditions as demanding, difficult, painful, or good feeling. Some conditions in lifestyles are stress upsetting, but it's far our mind that decide whether they're a trouble for us.
