Stress


What is stress?
Stress is your body’s response to change. It’s a very individual thing.

A situation that one person finds stressful may not bother someone else.
For example, one person may become tense when driving; another person may find driving a source of relaxation and joy. Something that causes fear in some people, such as rock climbing, may be fun for others. There’s no way to say that one thing is bad or stressful because everyone’s different.

Not all stress is bad, either. Speaking to a group or watching a close football game can be stressful, but they can be fun, too. Life would be dull without some stress.

The key is to manage stress properly, because unhealthy responses to it may lead to health problems in some people.
