Stress can be defined as an injury or threat to our physical and mental well -being, loss or a perception of loss, or challenge that we fear which is partly or totally beyond our control. Stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand made upon it. Stress is the body's physical, mental or chemical reaction when we get excited or confused or we otherwise feel unsafe or threatened. If daily demands are easy and well balanced an individual is fine. It is when one decides that pressure is unreasonable or the situation is upsetting, that the potential for damage occurs. That's when one feels stressed. Stress reactions begin in our minds. As long as humans have been around there has been stress. Perhaps, it's been known by different things or labeled as tension, over work, or strain but it has definitely been there. Cave men and women knew stress well. When danger lurked, there adrenalin flowed, their hearts went into pitter/patter high drive, their breathing got faster, they perspired more, and they were in a state of physical arousal and readiness to go into battle or make haste when needed.
