What is Stress?
Today’s fast-paced modern life is faced with certain demands, frustrations, and
deadlines. Stress is ordinary to most people. It has become part of their daily lives.
More and more people are now learning how to release stress effectively. Actually
small doses of stress are necessary, healthy and beneficial for a quality performance
since it can give you a certain motivation to give it your best shot. This is known as
positive stress. But when this reaches a certain level in which there are already
excessive doses of it, you'll be in emergency mode and won't be able to relax
anymore.
However, don’t be disheartened since stress is manageable. This practically means
you can do something to reduce if not get rid of it and thus decrease the harmful
effects associated with it. By knowing the definition of stress, its causes and taking
action in overcoming it, you can actually protect yourself from the harmful effects
associated with it.
In psychology, stress basically means a feeling of pressure and strain. Stress refers to
a physical response which is considered normal when your composure is upset due to
some events where you feel threatened. When a threat is perceived, your body’s
defences lead you to respond in the “stress response” or the “fight-or-flight” reaction.
Stress hormones are released such as cortisol and adrenaline which are responsible
for the emergency action. This response is characterised by the heart pounding faster,
breathing rate becoming faster, muscles tightening, blood pressure rising, and your
senses becoming sharper. These body changes lead to an increase in your stamina and
strength, sharpen your focus, and quicken your response time that prepare you to flee
from or fight an impending danger.
When this stress response works properly, it actually keeps you alert, energetic and
focused. Stress in an emergency situation can serve as a lifesaver in the sense that it
provides you some kind of power to protect yourself, for instance, hitting the brakes
to evade an accident. This stress response can also aid you in meeting challenges. It is
stress that makes you alert while you are giving presentations and gives you that
drive to prepare for your examinations instead of watching your favourite show on
TV.

What is Stress Caused By?
Stressors, which refer to the pressures and situations causing stress, such as a tedious
work schedule or a bumpy relationship. Whatever it is that pushes you beyond your
limits or demands you to make many changes in your lifestyle can also be quite
stressful. Even positive events can also give some stress such as settling down,
purchasing a home, preparing for college, or being promoted.
Stress is caused by how you perceive a situation. It is partly a matter of how you see
the stressors and the way you deal with them. It is not actually stressful if you do not
think about it in that way. Stress may be caused by some external factors such as
family and children, hectic schedule, financial matters, relationships, work and major
changes in one’s life. However, stress may also be caused by internal factors, which
include perfectionism, unrealistic goals, pessimism, not able to accept uncertainties
and the lack of asserting oneself. So keep reading if you want to know how to release
stress and anger easily and quickly...
