What is Stress?
Simply put, stress is the body’s natural response to pressure or demand. It’s the feeling we get when we’re overwhelmed, under pressure, or struggling to cope with life’s challenges. These challenges can include everyday situations like work deadlines, money worries, family issues, or even unexpected life changes.
Types of Stress
Stress doesn’t just affect one part of our lives – it can influence us in many different ways, both inside and out. It can shape how we think, how we feel, how we behave, and even how our body responds.
What Are the Effects?
Stress is more than just a feeling, how stress affects your body and your mind is very real. When we experience stress, our brain and nervous system trigger a series of responses that prepare us to react quickly, often called the "fight or flight" response.
Modern Stressors
Life today comes with opportunities, conveniences, and connections that past generations could only dream of, but it also brings new kinds of pressures. These modern stressors are often constant, harder to escape, and sometimes hidden in plain sight.
