The modern world, which is said to be a world of achievements, is also a world of stress. One finds stress everywhere, whether be within the family, business organization or any other social or economic contest. Right from the time of birth, until the last breath drawn, an individual is invariably exposed to various stressful situations. Stress happens whenever one’s mind and body reacts to some real or imagined situation. Since every situation or event in our daily life causes some type or degree of stress, it is unrealistic and impossible to eliminate stress, totally from one’s life.
In fact, one actually needs moderate levels of stress to help stay alert and perform well. The only people who are totally free of stress are those who populate the cemeteries. Dr. Hans Selye, the father of stress research, made the important distinction between stress which is harmful and that which is beneficial. Harmful stress can cause one to feel helpless, frustrated, disappointed and harmful. It can also cause physical as well as psychological damage; Selye called this ‘distress’.
