Stress
Stress is the response of the mind, body and behaviour to stressors. Stress is an
individual reaction and depending on your particular response, the stressors may be negative (distress) or positive (eustress).
When forces (stressors) within your environment act on you, your mind and body react on the basis of your previous experience, how you perceive the situation and how you perceive your ability to cope with the situation.
We all need stress in our lives, but it is when stress becomes unmanageable that people start to experience problems with their health and wellness.
