Discover the three types of stress and how to avoid stress from taking over your life.

1. Three types of
stress
How to Control
Your Stress:

2. 1ST TYPE OF STRESS
The first type of stress is called acute stress,
short term stress that does not last long and
usually disappears after the event or situation
is over.
Some examples of acute stress are public
speaking, taking an exam or from things and
events that make you stress out at the current
moment.

3. 2ND TYPE TO STRESS
The second type of stress is distant stress;
when the past affects the present moment.
Common examples of distant stress are
trauma events such as veterans suffering from
post-combat, sexual abuse, or other events
that still affect individuals to live well in the
present moment.

4. 3RD TYPE TO STRESS
The third type of stress is chronic stress,
ongoing stress that people cannot
manage.
Two common examples of chronic stress
are taking care of a sick person and
unemployment.

5. AVOID CHRONIC STRESS
 It is important that you learn how to control your stress before it
becomes chronic because it will affect your entire life.
 You have to learn how to deal and cope with your life situations as
soon as possible, and not avoid them.
 The longer your stress is inside, the more stress hormones
develop that will prevent your body to cope and heal from
sicknesses and diseases.
 However, the faster you are able to control and manage your
stress, the stronger you will become to help fight off unhealthy
hormones that include stress hormones.
 Every time you overcome stress; even just a little bit, you become
stronger.
