It is different things to different people. To a mountaineer it is the challenge of pushing physical resources to the limit by striving to achieve a demanding goal. To the homeward bound motorist it can be heavy traffic and exhaust fumes. To the student it can be exam pressure.

Take a piece of paper and write the word stress at the top. Now write down all the words and images that come to your mind as you think about this word.

Most people respond to the word stress in negative ways. They see it as a destructive force. However, not all stress is negative. The word eustress has been coined to describe positive stress. Eustress is the type of stress you are likely to experience when you inherit a large amount of money or receive an unexpected promotion or reward. Eustress is the stress of winning and achieving.

Negative stress is distress. It is the stress of losing, failing, overworking and not coping. Distress affects people in a negative often harmful manner. We all experience distress from time to time. It is a normal, unavoidable part of living.

Stressors Cause Stress

Stress results from failure to adequately cope with stressors. Stressors could be loud noise, uncomfortable air-conditioning, debts, ringing telephones, broken relationships, unrealistic deadlines, discouragement, fear, pain and thousands of other things that impact upon us in the normal course of life.

It is impossible to avoid stressors. The only totally stress-free state is death! Stressors will always be there because we live in an imperfect and unpredictable world which is going to cause us to frequently get stressed. We experience stress as the body adjusts to the external demands placed upon it. Our body constantly seeks to maintain stability and stress is usually felt as the body readjusts to too much pressure.

We need to assist our bodies to cope with being stressed because our natural biological stress-adjusters are not ideally suited to the demands of modern living. Our bodies are well suited to cope with the distressing events faced by our primitive ancestors. The stressors faced by humans conditioned to a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle are obviously different to the distressing lifestyle of today.

Our distant ancestors needed chemical responses that are inappropriate today. If you physically ran away from your workplace whenever things got on top of you then this would not enhance your standing in the Organization. Conversely if you punch the boss on the nose when he/she gives you a tough time then the resulting dismissal and assault charges will generate considerably greater levels of distress. Consequently we need to develop special skills to deal with special stressors.

The Consequences of Stress

One of the pioneers of stress research, Dr. Hans Selye wrote that "...stress is essentially reflected by the rate of all the wear and tear caused by life."

His research convinced him that the body has only a finite reserve of adaptation energy to apply to the stressors of life. Selye liked this reserve to a bank account upon which we can make withdrawals from time to time but into which we cannot make deposits. It is a non-renewable reserve of energy which we draw on throughout life until eventually it is consumed and death results.

Over a long period of time the stress response begins to take a toll on the body.

A weakened immune system makes us vulnerable to infection and this is why people under stress often experience regular attacks of colds and flu.

We can do ourselves a great deal of harm by stressful thinking. We can flood our body with stress hormones and this can create a vicious circle making us more and more stressful.

Every day you read in newspapers, books and magazines that it is important to avoid stress. Stress can kill, they say. Stay calm. Be relaxed. Slow down. Don’t worry so much and don’t work so hard. Unfortunately, this is difficult. There are always money problems and family problems. Our cities are full of traffic and noise. Stressful situations seem to be everywhere.
When people are under stress they react in different ways. Some people find it difficult to stay calm and often become tense. Little things, like a baby crying, can make them irritated. They get very annoyed if they have to wait just a few minutes too long in a shop or a restaurant. These people are usually very moody. One minute they are fine and the next they can be really angry – absolutely furious. Other people seem to stay calm almost all the time, and rarely get angry. For example, if they are caught in bad traffic, they don’t get frustrated. They sit calmly in their cars, telling themselves that there is nothing they can do about the situation. These people are not moody at all. They don’t change from moment to moment, but always seem to be in control of their emotions.
Some doctors give names to these two personality types: Type A and Type B people. Type A work very hard, worry a lot, and are often bad-tempered. Type Bs are the opposite. They don't worry. Work’s not so important to them and they don’t get angry easily. They like to relax a lot and have fun. The doctors say it is better for your health and heart if you are a Type B person.

Almost everyone is society has a job to do. Having work is important as it gives certain social status, pays salary and maintains self-esteem. Job can be rather rewarding. However, many people nowadays are leading hectic lifestyles. They work too much and have little breaks.

This inevitably leads to stress. We often hear the word “stress” in everyday life, although it is not clear what it really is. “Stress” means pressure and tension. It is a common problem in modern life. Unfortunately, too much stress results into physical, emotional and mental health problems.

The reasons for stress are numerous. It’s not only overworking or having no time for rest. Stress factors also include dangerous situations, difficulties at home, divorce, loss of close friends, etc. Changes for the better can also cause stress. For example, getting married, having a baby, moving houses, entering a university. Of course, everything depends on the way a person reacts. Experts advise not to worry too much and stay calm in any situation. It is very important to try to avoid stress or at least to minimize it. When noticed on early stages, it can be fixed easier.

One of the best ways to fight stress is to keep a sense of humor in difficult situations. Even doctors agree that laughter is the best medicine for all diseases. Other ways to cope with stress include regular leisure activities and interesting hobbies. If someone feels depressed, a good solution is taking up yoga classes or swimming, bicycling, knitting, gardening, painting, etc. Anything that can help a person to relax and get a new lease on life, is considered to be helpful.

The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English: “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. ‘Stress’ means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.

Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one’s mental health is put at risk.

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

How to deal with problems

How to cope with problems

Firstly, sometimes you have a problem but you do not have enough knowledge to cope with it. So, the best thing will be to ask someone to help you. Besides, there are situations when you are nervous or not in a good condition to solve your problem alone. Then you’ll need a person who will give you helpful advice. Finally, a lot of people say that one head is good but two heads are better. I think it is a useful phrase in our situation. If you have a problem, you can discuss it with someone you trust. Together you will find the best solution.

All I all, every person should find an outlet by himself. Asking for help is a thing that should not be scary because we are not perfect creatures and we can also make mistakes in our lives. Don’t forget that there are a lot of people around you who will be happy to give you a helping hand.

Also, many people say that one head is good, but two are still better. In my opinion, this statement is perfectly suited to the topic of our discussion.

The main thing is not to forget that there are a lot of people around us who are ready to lend us a helping hand at any moment.

Work like the main factor of stress

For every person it is important to have a job. Work gives remuneration, the opportunity to have necessary social status as well as self-actualization. Conversely work takes a lot of time and effort and so it is important to have a job that you like, otherwise you go to work like to torture.

Any work in some degree can cause stress. For example, fatigue-induced stress can be caused tiredness from long period of overwork. For most people overtime can cause physical fatigue. On the other hand there exists workaholics who will be happy to work overtime to get more money and career advancement and sometimes just for the self-affirmation in the profession.

Survival stress may be caused by dangerous or challenging situation at work. You need to be mentally and physically prepared for such tests because as in life and at work there are some difficult situations.

Internally generated stress happens because of a tense, hurried approach to life. To avoid it you should try to solve problems in time and if possible avoid difficult situations.

Job stress can also arise due to the tension in the working environment. It is very difficult to work when relationships with colleagues or executive are bad. If subordinates have deadline pressure from boss it can lower their desire to work for the company.

In conclusion we can say that for the avoidance of stress it is necessary to choose a suitable job that will not cause unpleasant feelings, and every day will not turn into torture. In addition, you should try to be sociable and try to be friends with your colleagues because in any difficult situation you can ask for help from them.

Every person needs to have a job. Work provides a salary, the opportunity to have the necessary social status, as well as self-realization. But besides this, work takes a lot of effort and time, and it is necessary that you like the work, otherwise going to work will seem like torture.

Any job causes stress to one degree or another. For example, fatigue-induced stress can come from being overworked due to long hours at work. For most people, working long hours can cause physical fatigue. On the other hand, there are workaholics who will happily work overtime in order to get extra money and a promotion, and sometimes just for the sake of self-affirmation in the profession.

In conclusion, we can say that to avoid stress, you need to choose a suitable job that will not cause unpleasant feelings and will not turn into torture every day. In addition, you should try to be sociable and make friends with colleagues, because in any difficult situation you can ask others for help.

Each of us has experienced stress at some point in our lives. Although high levels of stress can be damaging, in small amounts they can give us the excitement and inspiration we need to complete our projects. Here are some phrases that will help us talk about stress in English.

If you need to say that you are stressed or experiencing a similar feeling, you will need the phrases to be stressed, as well as to be stressed out or wound up. Both of these expressions are informal, so if you want to be more formal, you can say that you are under a lot of pressure/stress.

Google shortcode

When talking about stress, they always talk about the reasons that caused it. You might say, for example, that your job stresses you out or drives you crazy. These are informal expressions that we use every day. Work, especially if there is too much of it, is a common cause of stress. When we have too much work, we can say that we are literally up to our ears in work (snowed under work or up to our ears in work). If you think you are working too much, you can say “I’m overworked,” and if you have to stay late after work, say “I’m working/ doing overtime.”

If you feel too stressed, you need to relieve your stress by going somewhere to relax, de-stress, or wind down. All these phrases mean the same thing. Once you have relaxed (relaxed), you can say that you feel calm (feel calm or de-stressed).

Here are some examples of how people talk about their stress:

  • Jane is so stressed about completing her report! Jane is nervous about finishing her report.
  • I’m stressed about passing my exam tomorrow - I’m worried about the exam that needs to be passed tomorrow.
  • With these difficult calculations I’m so stressed
  • I'm going crazy with making her believe me - I'm going crazy trying to convince her to believe me.
  • My problem is that I can’t stop thinking about it and it keeps me up all night! – my problem is that I can’t stop thinking about it and it torments me all night.

It is necessary to get rid of stress, otherwise it can result in problems such as sleeplessness/insomnia, eating disorders, and depression. Therefore, experts advise dealing with stress and turning off your mobile phone more often, spending time in nature, having picnics with friends and buying new clothes, getting a pet, taking aromatic baths, etc.
