Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction to different situations in life. A small amount of stress can be beneficial, motivating you to perform well. But a few daily challenges, like sitting in traffic, meeting deadlines and paying bills, can push you beyond your limits.
Your brain is equipped with an alarm system for protection. When the brain perceives a threat, it signals your body to release hormones that increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure. This "fight or flight" response helps all of us deal with the threat.
Once the threat is gone, your body should return to a normal, relaxed state. Unfortunately, the constant complications of modern life mean that some people's alarms rarely go off.
Stress management provides you with a number of tools to reset your alarm system. This can help your mind and body adapt (resilience). Without it, your body could always be on high alert. Over time, chronic stress can lead to serious health problems.
