Stress?
1. If you were to ask a dozen people to define stress, or
   explain what causes stress or how stress affects
   them, you would likely get 12 different answers

2. The reason for this is that there is no definition of
   stress that everyone can agree on, what is stressful
   for one person may be pleasurable or have little
   effect on others and we all react to stress differently .

     “Just smile and let thing
    happen in your life” Francis
Stress is the adverse reaction people have to excessive
pressures or other types of demands placed upon them.

 Stress” is our body’s normal, automatic response to
change in our lives. The change may be negative,
positive, or imagined. When we feel unable to cope with
a new demand, we begin to feel stress. Stress is highly
individual ~ what may be very relaxing to one person
may be stressful to another.

    “Just smile and let thing
   happen in your life” Francis
Not all stress is bad. We need a certain amount of
stress in our lives because it stimulates and energizes us.



  But there is a clear distinction between pressure,
 which can be a motivating factor, and stress, which can
     occur when this pressure becomes excessive.


     “Just smile and let thing
    happen in your life” Francis
Causes of stress


  “Just smile and let thing
 happen in your life” Francis
External stressors
 Things outside the person, often things
   we can’t change
(e.g., noise, new residence, bad weather,
   schedule changes,
«                      )

   “Just smile and let thing
  happen in your life” Francis
1. Things we can sometimes change
     (e.g., conflicts with roommates,
   friends, family, dating partners, or
   co-workers; losing a relationship;
   problems with professors)

   “Just smile and let thing
  happen in your life” Francis
1. Including things we say or do to
   ourselves, often things we can change
    (e.g., perfectionism, negative thoughts
   or feelings about ourselves, selecting a
   major or career)

“Just smile and let thing
happen in your life” Francis
1. Acute stress is the most common form of stress. It
   comes from demands and pressure of the recent past
   and anticipated demands and pressures of the near
   future. Acute stress is thrilling and exciting in small
   doses but to much is exhausting.

2. Because it is short term, acute stress doesn’t have
   enough time to do the extensive damage associated
   with long term or chronic stress.
     “Just smile and let thing
    happen in your life” Francis
1. While acute stress can be exciting, chronic stress is
   not, it can wear people away day after day.

2. Chronic stress can be i.e.: chronic physical stressor,
   worrying about health, actual health condition,
   chronic pain, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, ect.

3. Others are chronic social or psychological stressors,
   money issues, job stress,
     “Just smile and let thing
    happen in your life” Francis

     “Just smile and let thing
    happen in your life” Francis
Of course …

Le stress ne peut être évité totalement.
Mais on peut apprendre à le maîtriser
de sorte qu’il travaille pour nous et non
contre nous.
    “Just smile and let thing
   happen in your life” Francis
