An individual‘s stress is in response to a threatening or challenging environmental condition. To understand and explore more about the stress, it is important to know about the association of stress and fear. Both are correlated to each other. But in many cases we are responsible for our stress. We encounter both positive and negative stressors; circumstances from where the stress is originated.
Stress impacts our physiological system. In a long run it has a negative impact such as high blood pressure, metabolic disorders (like diabetes, indigestion & impotency) and increased incidences of cold and flu. Prolonged stress can be observed in post traumatic stress disorders, major depression and in some cases aging, lack of appetite, severe hair loss etc.
Our response to stress depends on many factors like genetic inheritance, family & childhood experiences, overall physical & mental health and our perception of stress. As it is medically proved that our thought and emotions influence our health. This is so because there is a strong physical link between brain and the immune system.
Stress is not always harmful. Short term stress has its benefits. Little anxiety and work pressure enhances the performance of an individual. It has a positive impact as it leads to more dedicated effort from an individual who strives for higher achievement levels. Also, sometimes acute stress is good for gearing up body’s immune system.
I would again like to emphasize that in many cases stress is created by us and it can be eliminated by our behavior and attitude. Our mind is mirror of ourselves, and responds in the manner we think. An individual’s well being plays a crucial role in successful adjustment. Positive attitude and behavior are vital for mind and body. So it’s well said, a person creates his heaven and hell in his mind; it depends in what he wishes to choose and the way he wants to lead his life.
