You can’t escape from stress. It exists in every aspect of your life, your family, your career, your recreation. What is stress and what does it do to you?
Anything outside of yourself that is exerting pressure or strain on you is considered stress. Stress interrupts your daily, harmonious existence and if unchecked can destroy your health.
If you think of an object, say a flower, that’s growing on a hill doing it’s thing. That’s you. Stress would be outside pressures like, say, rain, wind, a bumble bee crawling around on your petals or a giant foot stomping you into the ground.
Stress in and of itself is not always a bad thing. To allow outside commotion to have an impact on us can be healthy. Change can be good. It’s only when that commotion disrupts your ability to be at peace that it is negative.
We need to experience stress so that we are aware of our surroundings. We can use it as a warning system or a wake up call that things need to change.
When we are experiencing unrelenting stress we can end up caught in anxiety and depression. There are classic signs of stress to look for, are you irritable, have trouble sleeping, eat too much or not eat enough. All these and more can be signs of too much stress.
