Lesson For The Day
STRESS
STRESS is a reaction of the body and mind to unkind or challenging life incidents such as tense feelings, worry, and discomfort. Stress is the mental, emotional, and physiological response of the body to any situation that is new, threatening, frightening, or exciting. Stress is a reality of life that people encounter every day. In this unpredictable world, working under pressure has become the rule rather than an exception. As a consequence, it becomes one of the common problems that we face and directly affect our ability to stay well.
EUSTRESS
EUSTRESS Eustress or positive stress promoted growth and accomplishments and stimulates you to go on. The enhancing influence on our productivity and satisfaction is called “eustress”.
DISTRESS
DISSTRESS Distress or negative stress often causes poor performance . The perception of stress as positive or negative varies from person to person. One event might elicit a positive response to someone while it could be negative to another person. On the other hand, the harmful physical consequence of stress is called “distress.”

Stressor is an event or a situation that causes stressful situations , which are seen as risks to the well-being of a person. The body responds to stress by secreting hormones that prepare the body to respond to the situation, the stress response is not harmful to the body; however, frequent activation of the stress response has negative consequences on the body. It leaves the body feeling weak, tired, and impairs the immune system. These cause anxiety that affects an individual’s health, behavior, and life.
