Stress can be defined in many terms. Stress in simple terms implies the tiredness of your body to communicate or respond to your surroundings or what is required out of you. Stress is actually a normal good body function. It is natural and physical reaction to life’s circumstances that break your balance in some way or the other due to high intensity of pressure or work load. When something passes a tolerance stage to yield something then the stress takes place in that situation. For example if you are asked to pass a border of a steep cliff then after a point of time your body tries to come out of that hard situation. The exerting force that forces your body to move out of that situation is called ‘Stress’
Stress is also of two types- negative stress and positive stress. Any thing that crosses the normal limit of excitement gives you stress. Negative stress implies that stress which takes place out of anxieties, heavy work loads, trauma, health problems etc. a stress that has come out of negative things implies ‘negative stress’. On the contrary, a positive stress implies a stress that has come from a positive environment.
