Stress Relief Management

Stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional strain. Everyone experiences this to some degree and each person has a unique way of coping. It can be present in most situations and depends on individual perception.

The Physical Response

Stress has been termed the "fight or flight" response to perceived danger. This occurs when you must defend yourself from real danger by either standing your ground and fighting or running away to a safer place. The body's physical response includes releasing a surge of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol that cause increased glucose in the blood, elevated heart rate and blood pressure and heightened alertness by increasing the brain's use of glucose.

When sources of stress become constant and more difficult to deal with, the "fight or flight" response continues on with no let up. The constant heightened level of bodily response then begins to show negative symptoms that indicate harm to overall health and emotional well being.

Sources

Stress can occur due to physical trauma such as an accident or surgery, or can be psychological as in relationship problems, pressures of school and social situations like speaking before a group of people. Just living life in a complex society generates stress in most people.
