Stress refers to the emotional reaction of physical and mental tension and uneasiness that people feel when facing challenges or demands. Stress can come from a variety of different factors, such as work, school, relationships, health, finances, etc. Moderate stress can stimulate people’s enthusiasm and creativity, but excessive stress can have adverse effects on the body and psychology.
In psychology, people usually divide stress into two types: positive stress and negative stress. Positive stress, also known as challenging stress, can help people improve their work efficiency and ability to cope. Negative stress refers to negative emotions caused by external or internal factors, such as anxiety, depression, etc. Long-term negative stress will have adverse effects on physical and mental health.
Different people have different ways of dealing with stress. Some people may adopt a positive mindset to cope with stress, such as seeking support and help, learning relaxation techniques, and adjusting work-life balance. Others may choose negative coping methods, such as being addicted to games or social media, abusing drugs or alcohol, etc. These behaviors will further increase stress and insecurity, causing more harm to physical and mental health.
Proper stress management is very important for people’s physical and mental health. We can reduce and relieve stress by establishing a positive mentality and taking effective coping measures to make ourselves healthier and happier.
