What is Stress?
Stress can mean different things to different people. Stress is defined as a conflict between the demands placed on us and our ability to cope. The way we cope with these demands will depend on many things. For example, the way we think, our personality and our previous life experiences can affect our stress levels.
We live in a world where we hear about stress all the time, we know of the health issues it can cause, the depression, heart disease and the suicides that have occurred from stress.
Stress is not a fad or a diminishing of one’s coping abilities or strategies. It is a danger to us. Ultimately it needs to be dealt with when it is presented.
