Definitions of Stress:

 

Stress is a natural reaction in human body which occurs due to mental challenges. Stress creates many different physical, emotional, and mental responses. Everyone should face stress at any moment. Nobody avoid stress. It is an uninvited guest of our life who comes without any knocks at the door.

Stressors provide you stress from time to time. Stress changes your reaction, your action and your thoughts. Stress slowly leads you to think something deeply as well as frantically. Stress becomes problem when you are not able to handle it.

S. Palmer says, “Stress is the psychological, physiological and behavioral response by an individual when they perceive a lack of equilibrium between the demand placed upon them and their ability to meet those demands, which, over a period of time, leads to ill-health.

Hans Selys, known as father of stress Says,” Stress is response based in that it conceptualizes stress chiefly in terms of the body’s physiological reaction to any demand that is placed on it.”

In their book, “Stress, Appraisal and coping.” psychologist Richard Lazarus and Susan Folkman defines stress as the body’s internal reaction to any external stimulus that is deemed harmful.

Sadguru says, “Stress is just your inability to manage your own system. Stress happens not because of the nature of your work.

Wikipedia’s definition illustrates that Stress biology, an organism’s response to a stressor such as an environmental condition.

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines psychological stress as an emotional response to an emotional response to an external trigger.

THE UN body World Health Organization definition tells us that stress is a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation.
