Stress
Stress is the way we react or respond physically, mentally, and/or emotionally to various conditions, changes, and demands of life.
The stress we experience is rooted in the “fight or flight” response, during which our bodies undergo physical changes that prepare us to respond to an exciting or dangerous situation. Once the situations has passed or is under control, our stress response subsides, allowing us to relax.
However, the constant demands of academic or personal life can prevent us from becoming fully relaxed and can lead to stress overload.
