    TOPIC: - REACTION TO STRESS
     WHAT IS STRESS?
    Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human
    body is designed to experience and respond to stress. When you experience
    changes or challenges (stressors), your body produces physical and mental
    responses. It's stress. Stress reactions help your body adapt to new situations.
    Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. For
    example, if you have an important test coming up, the stress response can help
    your body work harder and stay awake longer. But stress becomes a problem when
    stressors persist without periods of relief or relaxation.

     TYPES OF STRESS:
    There are several types of stress, including:

    1. acute stress.
    2. episodic acute stress.
    3. chronic stress.

    Let us have a detail look into each of them:

    Acute stress
    Acute stress happens to everyone. It’s the
    body’s immediate reaction to a new and
    challenging situation. It’s the kind of stress you
    might feel when you narrowly escape a car
    accident. Acute stress can also come out of
    something that you actually enjoy. It’s the
    somewhat-frightening, yet thrilling feeling you
    get on a roller coaster or when skiing down a
    steep mountain slope. These incidents of acute
    stress don’t normally do you any harm. They
    might even be good for you. Stressful situations
    give your body and brain practice in developing
    the best response to future stressful situations. Once the danger passes, your body
    systems should return to normal.

    .Episodic
    Acute stress
    Episodic acute stress is when you have
    frequent episodes of acute stress.

    This might happen if you’re often anxious


    and worried about things you suspect may
    happen. You might feel that your life is
    chaotic and you seemingly go from one
    crisis to the next.

    Certain professions, such as law enforcement or firefighters, might also lead to


    frequent high-stress situations. As with severe acute stress, episodic acute stress
    can affect your physical health and mental well-being.

    Chronic stress
    When you have high-stress levels for
    an extended period of time, you have
    chronic stress. Long-term stress like
    this can have a negative impact on
    your health. It may contribute to:

    1. Anxiety.
    2. Cardiovascular disease.
    3. Depression.
    4. High blood pressure.
    5. A weakened immune system.
    Chronic stress can also lead to frequent ailments such as headaches, an upset
    stomach, and sleep difficulties. Gaining insights into the different types of stress
    and how to recognize them may help.

     What are the causes of stress?


    Sometimes the stress comes from inside, rather than outside. You can stress
    yourself out just by worrying about things. All of these factors can lead to stress:

     Fear and uncertainty. When you regularly hear about the threat of terrorist
    attacks, global warming, and toxic chemicals on the news, it can because
    you to feel stressed, especially because you feel like you have no control
    over those events. And even though disasters are typically very rare events,
    their vivid coverage in the media may make them seem as if they are more
    likely to occur than they really are. Fears can also hit closer to home, such as
    being worried that you won't finish a project at work or won't have enough
    money to pay your bills this month.
     Attitudes and perceptions. How you view the world or a particular situation
    can determine whether it causes stress. For example, if your television set is
    stolen and you take the attitude, "It's OK, my insurance company will pay
    for a new one," you'll be far less stressed than if you think, "My TV is gone
    and I'll never get it back! What if the thieves come back to my house to steal
    again?" Similarly, people who feel like they're doing a good job at work will
    be less stressed out by a big upcoming project than those who worry that
    they are incompetent.
     Unrealistic expectations. No one is perfect. If you expect to do everything
    right all the time, you're
    destined to feel stressed
    when things don't go as
    expected.

     Change. Any major life


    change can be stressful --
    even a happy event like a
    wedding or a job
    promotion. More
    unpleasant events, such as a divorce, major financial setback, or death in the
    family can be significant sources of stress.

    Your stress level will differ based on your personality and how you respond to
    situations. Some people let everything roll off their back. To them, work stresses
    and life stresses are just minor bumps in the road. Others literally worry
    themselves sick.
     STRESS MANAGEMENT
    The goal of stress management isn’t to get rid of it completely. It’s not only
    impossible, but as we mentioned, stress can be healthy in some situations. In order
    to manage your stress, first you have to identify the things that cause you stress —
    or your triggers. Figure out which of these things can be avoided. Then, find ways
    to cope with those negative stressors that can’t be avoided. Over time, managing
    your stress levels may help lower your risk for stress-related diseases. And it’ll
    help you feel better on a daily basis, too.

    Here are some basic ways to start


    managing stress:

    1. Maintain a healthy diet.


    2. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep
    each night.
    3. Exercise regularly.
    4. Minimize your use of caffeine
    and alcohol.
    5. Stay socially connected so you
    can get and give support.
    6. Make time for rest and
    relaxation, or self-care.
    7. Learn meditation techniques such as deep breathing.

    If you can’t manage your stress, or if it’s accompanied by anxiety or depression,


    see your doctor right away. These conditions can be managed with treatment, as
    long as you seek help.

    See in today’s social media world everyone is stressed out with


    happy stuff shown on the media and everyone wants there life to be
    perfect like the influencers. But the reality is that they too have
    many problems in their life but they only socialize the good and
    happy stuff which makes the common man stressed out and believe
    in the materialistic things in the life.
    SO DON’T BE STRESS JUST EXPRESS!!
