The two world’s most known word. In today’s world stress has become a prominent issue for almost everyone. According to me, it’s practically impossible to lead a stress-free life. Everybody is facing some or the other kind of stress in their life. Nowadays life has become so paced; people are so much busy in their work that they are not able to focus on the other aspects of life.
And this is where from where the stress starts getting involved in their life. However, the pressure is just an answer to the challenges you get to face in your life. So, it’s not so annoying to get stressed as I said it’s a response to your problems. And without challenges life would become pretty dull. However, the stress mentioned above is one of its kind. There can be a lot of reasons for the stress. Most of them are unnecessary and can be overcome by some simple steps.
There are several ways to combat anxiety but before moving to that part let us know something more about anxiety.
What is Stress?
Technically, stress is a response by your body to any demands. Under stress, the body starts releasing various kinds of hormone-like adrenaline, cortisol and many more, to get ready for the required action. In the case when the hormones are released, it produces energy inside the body, which prepares the man to either face the problem or to run away from it.
Effects of Stress:
Under stress, the ability to take right decision gets hampered as the brain doesn’t function well. If somebody remains in the state of anxiety for a more extended period, then he/she may suffer from some health issues like an increase in sugar level, blood pressure may get high.
The most common thing which happens under stress is anxiety. Anxiety is nothing but a sheer feel of panicking. People get this often when they face some financial problems, before some interviews or exams or in the case of some family-oriented issues. But once this problem gets over, they start feeling comfortable. Stress and anxiety can be a threat if they persist for the more extended period. They can lead to a health-oriented problem like headaches, increase in blood pressure, pain in chest and get insomniac. Research shows that it can worsen the situation and can lead to disease. Cardio-vascular disease, obesity, menstrual difficulty, impotence, skin diseases are some cause of long-term stress.
It’s even harmful when people switch to alcohols, tobacco, and drugs in order to help to relieve their stress. This instead of reducing the body from stress, makes it remain in tension.
