Stress (1)

Let's start with another topic related to not only work, but also our daily lives.

Another useful information that I got to share with you all. This time, I pluck the following information from Daily Express, 18th June 2008. I know everyone will face stress. But do we actually know what stress is. Read the following for more information.

Stress is the body's response to anything which could be dangerous. The body goes into 'fight or flight' mode, which means that you get an adrenalin rush, your heart beats faster, more blood rushes to your muscles and you are all set to fight or run away from whatever is threatening you.

This is good if you are facing a really dangerous situation or if you were a cave dweller in the olden days chasing the next meal but most of us don't have to deal with situations like these. Usually we have to deal with frightening things using our mind. But stress is still a normal part of our lives and our bodies still react to it in the same way.
