Stress

Stress is the sense of not beeing able to keep the commitments we make, big or small, with others or ourself. It's a selfinflicted sense of guilt. Stress is a reminder from your body that you have gone too far. It's like when you feel pain in your knees after having run too much - you stop. Stress IS a nine-letter word, and the word is CHALLENGE! See it not as a problem you *can't* handle; see it as a challenge you and your Lord *will* handle.


Stress is not necessarily a bad thing to have; it is a problem when demands get so great that a person’s normal level of coping no longer is able to handle the amount of stress. When this point is reached the feelings described above start to emerge and without some intervention the worker’s ability to do the job diminishes. Stress is no longer seen as an isolated emotional issue, but rather as an integral part of the body's response to dangers and threat. But, says Davidson, many modern stressors, such as the continuing economic crisis, are not short term. Stress is when you are worried about getting laid off your job, or worried about having enough money to pay your bills, or worried about your mother when the doctor says she may need an operation. In fact, to most of us, stress is synonymous with worry.

Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences.




Research has suggested that many both positive and negative experiences, chronic stressors, and various other environmental factors may affect a young child's developing brain. And now, studies involving animals are revealing in greater detail how this may occur. Researchers analysed data from over 8000 participants in the 1958 Birth Cohort, a long-term study of babies born during one week in March of that year. Their mental health was reviewed at the ages of 7, 11, and 16 using information from teachers and parents, and at the ages of 23 and 33 using personal interviews. Research shows that stress is associated with the leading causes of mortality: heart disease, cancer, lung disease, accidents, liver disease and suicide.

Results of internal body organs and system will also be indicate their health condition. Results indicate that those who believe they will have more social time think the conversion is a good idea, will improve the quality of their education, and will give them more time to study and sleep. This further supports the assumption that optimistic attitudes produce positive results.
