Do I need to protect themselves from stress?

 When people talk about stress, it is almost always mean something negative. This term is used when complaining about life, the constant overload. But is stress - a film? Do this coin has two sides.

 What is Stress

 Stress is so common notion that explain its meaning does not need. But I still try to make some adjustments to the understanding of this phenomenon. 

 We can look at stress as an event . For example, accidentally learned that he was going to dismiss an employee perceives a future event as stressful. That is, the possible situations of stress, can be called stress.

 Often, we call the stress reaction to an unpleasant event or news . The reaction can manifest itself in bursts of emotions can be expressed as a stressful experience. In such cases, often say: "He's in shock (he stressed)!"

 Also, stress can be considered as an intermediate process . For example, knowing that the car was gone, the owner is under stress before it begins to respond (call the police, will begin to complain or cry, etc.). In this case, stress is an intermediate state between the event itself and the reaction to it.

Types of Stress

 Usually the stress is divided into two types. First - physiological stress , the second - the pathological .
When people talk about stress as something negative, then it implies a pathological stress, that is, one that is caused by excessive power influence of negative events, news, experiences. As it turns out, we can experience stress and positive long-awaited event. For example, if a one-year young man managed to finish university, get a job, get married, buy an apartment, to have offspring - is stress. Each event is even a positive voltage.
 Our body reacts the same way as a negative event, and on the positive - stress.This is due to the fact that with each new event, it needs to adapt, which means - to spend a lot of energy. A limited supply of energy and as a result of supersaturation (even positive) events occur emotional exhaustion, there is irritability and fatigue.
 The strength of stress depends on the intensity and duration of the situation that caused it.

 Below is a scale by which we can determine your level of stress. You need to remember all the events that have occurred since you last year, to write scores for each event and summed them.

If, summing all you have determined that the index is within the 150-199 points - your resistance to stress is high enough. But the probability of disease is 50%. If your rate is 200-299 points - a threshold value. The total score of 300 and more - means low resistance to stress. The probability of disease increases to 90% - you are close to the phase of nervous exhaustion.

What to do

 As we see, and sorrow and joy should be in moderation. It is better to plan ahead and protect yourself from unnecessary anxiety and overstimulation. And if it so happened that the rate still exceeds the limit. Stay. Think about what health is still important. Enough to run ahead of the engine, trying to do everything. Will give a minute.
 
 From emotional overload is good for physical activity. Remember what you did in childhood, what led you to the sports section: it is possible - skies? Pool? Dancing? Or maybe you want to try something new?Excellent discharge may be just a walk in the fresh air.
"discharged" in the family is not worth it. First , it will not help you, and,secondly , will be back in full, and even worsen the relationship.
 Helps to get rid of the stress of change, when the positive emotions of a class replaces the negative experience. However, the attempt to shoot down a lot of stress as strong joy is fraught with danger. For example, a student who went to the noisy and festive party after a difficult exam, doubling their psychological stress. In the morning, he is likely to feel "broken" and devastation.
 Stress - an integral part of life. A series of one event follows another. And in this confusion, each chooses, care of himself, or throw all the remaining forces into battle. While we are experiencing stress - we live.
