WHAT IS STRESS 1. Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a


person perceives that "demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize."


~ Richard S. Lazarus


Acute Stress: Fight or flight. The body prepares to defend itself. It takes about 90 minutes for the metabolism to return to normal when the response is over.


Chronic Stress: The cost of daily living: bills, kids, jobs…This is the stress we tend to ignore or push down. Left uncontrolled this stress affects your health- your body and your immune system.


Eustress: Stress in daily life that has positive connotations - See more at: http://www.stress.org/


“It is not the stressor itself but how you perceive it & handle it that determines if it will lead to stress” ~ Dr. Seligman
