  1. Stress Management Professional Development

  2. What is Stress? Stress refers to the "psychologically, physiological, and behavioural response of an individual when they perceive a loss of equilibrium between the demands placed on them and their ability meet those demands. This leads over time to ill health" (Palmer 1989).

  3. What does Stress do? Although many people think of stress as psychological stress, doctors and scientists use the term stress to describe any force that affects the stability or balance of the body's functions. Stress can cause disruptions in body function and balance. But not necessarily. Sometimes, a mild amount of stress or tension can be helpful.

  4. Good Stress Vs Bad Stress Feeling mildly stressed while working on a project or an assignment can often motivate us to do a great job, be more focused, and work hard. Exercise can also cause temporary stress to some body functions. However, its health benefits are undeniable. Negative effects of stress only appear when it is too much or is not managed well.

  5. The History of Stress Why we feel stressed

  6. History of Stress Background Because of its utility in survival, stress has been part of evolution. If used correctly, stress can increase our awareness and improve physical performance in brief bursts (Van Duyne 2003). Stress was our friend in the past. It was a protection mechanism that alerted us to danger. A natural response that advised us when we should run. This is known as the "fight or flee" response or the "stress reaction." Stress saved the lives of your evolutionary ancestors when they saw a saber-toothed feline and fled.

  7. Exposure Although it might seem impossible to manage stress at home and work, there are steps that you can take. Chronic exposure to the stress response can lead to physical and psychological health problems that last a lifetime. These include anxiety depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even anxiety.
