What is Stress?

To put it simply, stress is the body’s natural defense against a challenging situation. Whether it’s a work deadline, moving to a new home, family stresses or even something small such as a traffic jam, our body goes through a hormonal change when feeling under pressure. Your body then reacts through physical means such as a heavy feeling in your chest, headaches and sometimes shortness of breath. Stress can also contribute towards feelings of depression and anxiety1. If you do experience any of these symptoms or are worried it always good to check in with your doctor. So, it’s learning how to manage stress that enables you to move forward with your life and not let it get the better of you.

Types of Stress

Different types of stress can be highlighted through several physical and emotional factors in almost any setting. This is why, the feeling of being stressed may affect your overall health & wellbeing. The modern world means we talk about “stress” a lot, but it comes in all shapes and sizes so it’s important to break it down and understand what we may be feeling.

1)      Physical Stress

Injuries or ill health can have a huge impact on how you feel day to day and increase feelings of stress. Try using mindfulness practices to recentre yourself. Being kind to your body when it’s been through something tough is so important.

2)      Emotional Stress

Emotional stress can come in many forms. Often, when we are going through periods of change or uncertainty, we can begin to overthink which can in turn create feelings of worry, fear, anger, and sadness2. One of the best things you can do when facing emotional stress, is to try and take some time out for yourself to relax. Read a book, enjoy a soothing bath, take a walk in the fresh air, or light a scented candle.

3)      Work Stress

Work can be a great source of stress, for many reasons. Maybe you’re stuck in a profession you don’t particularly enjoy, feel like you’re being overworked or are experiencing conflict with a co-worker. When it comes down to it, we spend one third of our lives at work3 and with our colleagues so it’s important to try and find a suitable work-life balance and a way to manage these problems. Try talking to someone you feel you can confide in; your HR department is often the best place to start.

4)      Life Stress

Life’s big milestones are often unexpected: the death of a loved one, divorce, moving house, job losses or illness can all be classified as life’s biggest stressors4. While in some cases, we can never be prepared for these moments we can take note of some helpful measures to alleviate the symptoms of stress. An example of this, can be mindfulness activities which will help you stay grounded and engage in the moment rather than listening to your body’s signs of stress. Another way is by surrounding yourself with your loved ones. Simply being around positive people in general can help reduce sadness and any negative thoughts you may be feeling.
