“If you ask what the single most important key to longevity is, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress, and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.”

WHAT IS STRESS?

Stress is a reaction of your body or brain to any change that requires a response. It can affect you mentally, physically, or emotionally. Every individual reacts differently to stressful consequences.

Everyone experiences stress in their lives in different ways. Maybe what affects me would not harm you or does not give you stress. So the first thing is you should know about your stressors or hot buttons. You must understand what situations or consequences provide you with stress.

CONSEQUENCES OF STRESS

When someone has stress in their lives, the first reason we think about is a financial loss or the loss of someone you love. You cannot have a clue about how stress can affect your mental and physical health.

The most common reasons for the stress we find are loss of a job, the death of your loved one, divorce, and many others. Stress can lead you toward depression and anxiety. Currently, COVID-19 is spreading speedily around the globe. This is the reason for today’s stressful life.

HOW TO COPE UP WITH STRESS

Anxiety and fear of any disease can be frightening for people. These days, every person is affected by the stressful situation which is happening due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People are not well aware, and they are just getting influenced by the information they get on media or from anyone in the surrounding.
