What is Stress? ) Stress defies a single comprehensive definition. It is a universal syndrome comprised of various characteristics and symptoms affecting different human beings differently. Therefore stress has been defined variously by various professionals - psychologists, medics, management consultants and others. Whatever the definition, we all have experienced stress, and are possibly experiencing it at this moment. Each one of us therefore intuitively knows what stress is and can define it according to one’s own perspective.
Another definition of stress is physical, mental, and emotional strain or tension. It occurs when we perceive that the response we need to make to our environment or circumstances is beyond us or threatens our well being.
Stress is the body and mind's response to any stressful pressure that disrupts the balance in the mind or body. It occurs when our perceptions of events don't meet our expectations and we don't manage our reaction to the disappointment. As a response, stress expresses itself as resistance, tension, strain or frustration, that throws off our physiological and psychological equilibrium, keeping us out-of-sync and stressed-out
“God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it.”
(1 Corinthians 10:13.
Stress initially acts in a subtle manner in our normal working life without threatening our survival. The impact of stress does not manifest itself dramatically. Its intensity is so low that we do not notice it. Usually a person experiences stress when he/she is frustrated or interrupted, more so when he/she encounters new and challenging situations. The amount of stress that a person suffers from depends upon the imagined damage a person thinks a situation can do to them. The sense of threat is seldom physical - in fact, it can be a perceived threat to personal standing in society. Just as the real threat is in life.
Do not fear the challenges of life, but approach them patiently. with faith in God.
He will reward your faith with the power not only to endure, but also to prevail over
hardships. disappointments, trials, and struggles of daily living. Through diligently
striving to live the law of God and with faith in Him, we will not diverted from the eternal course.
No temptation has taken you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it.
How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you focus on the negative in any situation, you can expect high stress levels. However, if you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish. (Quote by - Catherine Pulsifer)
The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers.
If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom
and yet depreciate agitation Power concedes nothing without demand.
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance,
victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
Coming together during struggles, becoming stronger in tough times.
The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers.
