Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if their stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength. This class will discuss different causes of stress, how stress affects you, the difference between 'good' or 'positive' stress and 'bad' or 'negative' stress, and some common facts about how stress affects people today
WHAT IS STRESS ?
![Page 6: Personal stress.pptx henok](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/55535082b4c9059e688b505f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your body has a built-in response to handle stress. When something stressful happens, you may experience sweaty palms, dry mouth, or knots in your stomach. This is totally normal and means that your body is working exactly as it should. Other signs of stress include emotional signs (such as feeling sad or worried), behavioral signs (such as crying), and mental signs (such as not being able to concentrate or focus)
STRESS FEELINGS

TYPES OF STRESSORS
![Page 8: Personal stress.pptx henok](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/55535082b4c9059e688b505f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Negative stress is stress that a person feels they cannot handle. If they have been feeling this stress for a long time their body will wear out and they will not be able to function normally. This can lead to depression, anxiety, lower self esteem and other mental health issues.
NEGATIVE STRESS
![Page 9: Personal stress.pptx henok](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/55535082b4c9059e688b505f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Positive Stress is also called Eustress. This excitement is felt by people when they are confronted by a demanding situation, which they think they can handle. This fills them with thrill and excitement. Like runners on the track, taking a ride on the roller coaster, taking up a challenging project at workplace.
Positive Stress gives you the energy to throw yourself into something where you want to make some contribution. Approaching exams enhance a student's concentration and learning capability.
POSITIVE STRESS

Your heart beats faster and your breathing may be more rapid and shallow. Conversely, you may notice that if you were to take a conscious deep breath, it almost feels like you were holding or limiting your breath. Letting it out is a relief. This is a great test to see if you are stressed right now and don't realize it.
Muscles feel tense. The palms of your hands become sweaty. Some people crave carbohydrates which provide the body with fast energy. Others reach for alcohol or drugs.
Some people feel irritable or get indigestion. You may feel light-headed, have a dry mouth or an unexplained bout of diarrhea or constipation. Perhaps you don't sleep that night because you are "hyped".
You become more alert and focused on your problem or the task at hand. Some people become "addicted" to the adrenaline rush because it gives them a burst of energy and feels exhilarating. This physical symptom of stress feels good so you are tempted to keep up stressful behaviors. Don't be fooled. It ultimately leads to "burnout" and other negative long-term health effects.
