Safety Tips: STRESS

In the world we leave in today, we set unnecessary goals and targets, fill with dissatisfactions and apprehensions. To many of us, “STRESS” has turned out to be a way of life, because it’s so routinely.

Although, it’s sometimes good to work under “STRESS”, which can help bring out the best in you, but it should be done within a certain threshold. And above this threshold could lead to some dire consequences like mood swing, poor interpersonal relationship, adverse health effect as well as deprived quality of life.

By definition, “STRESS” is your body’s way of reacting to some type of request or danger. Once you feel endangered, your nervous system reacts by discharging a surge of “STRESS” hormones, plus adrenaline and cortisol, which awaken the body for alternative action. There is an increase in blood pressure, increase in heart beats, muscles stiffen, breath accelerates, and diversity in ways of reasoning. These physical alterations escalate your energy and endurances, accelerate your response interval, and boost your concentration.

Since “STRESS” is inevitable, we should try to stay within the threshold and we can take advantage of the acronym for “STRESS” below:

S = Set

T = Target

E = Exercise

R = Read

S = See

S = Success
