Here are some more hard-hitting facts and considerations about stress, to shed some light on this musing and world-life reality that we all face as part of our existence, quality of life and being.
Stress can be:
- A state of mental or emotional strain or suspense

- Oppressive stress is unhealthy and should be outgrown.
- Harmonious stress is experienced in parenting.

Stress can be both either positive or negative. It can come from various sources and the there are detectable and treatable , predictable biochemical effects of stress.
Prolonged stress, regardless of whether it is positive or negative can be devastating, debilitating and harmful.
Just imagine how wonderful it can be if we can all take a little time to focus on what really matters in life!
Lessen and reduce even work-related stress. Stress research today is still asking for the most part when adaptive processes stop being essential for life and become damaging to health.
Why some individuals are more vulnerable to chronic stress than others is also an unresolved phenomenon.
A recognized fact is that we all have certain neural, endocrine and immunological responses to stress – albeit different.
According to what psychologists refer to as the bio-psycho-social (or MASH) model of stress and behavior, there are numerous coping mechanics and framework in various levels and aspects, areas of an individual’s life at play, including personal, work, family, relationships, couples etc.
Aspects of problem-solving, communication, flexibility and closeness (cohesion) are at the very heart of what makes the difference for success and results with stress.
Survival hormones are just part of the story though when dealing with stress. They can just as easily take us to new heights and places we have never been before, as much as they could hinder us and our processes.
These stress hormones can affect you in many ways – here are just some of what happens when your body is under ‘strain’, submitted to stress:
- Your heart rate goes up
- Blood pressure increases
- More oxygen and blood sugar moved throughout the body
- All systems work together and are on/at edge to support major muscles
- Sweating increases
- Focused attention on the threat
- No distractions, nothing else matters (even mentally focused on resolution)
- The whole body is at the ready and has a heightened ability to survive life-threatening events
If you feel overwhelmed by priorities, living, things to do, people, situations, demands, that would be considered stressful.
If you do not have the coping skills, resources or what is needed to respond accordingly and appropriately, you are under what we consider to be STRESS.
