Stress
Like fingerprints, no two human beings are exactly the same. As such we do not respond to stress in the same way. A situation that is stressful for one person may not faze someone else; they may even find it motivating. For example, if a project deadline leaves you overwhelmed and worried, you will likely experience stress. Then again, if the same project deadline makes you feel excited about the positive affect it could have on you, then stress you experience is more likely to be motivating and helpful. The causes and intensity of stress involve some individual variability.
In today’s society, many things can be a source of stress. Stress can affect how you feel, think, behave and how your body works. In fact, some common signs of stress are sleep problems, loss of appetite, muscle tension or stomach ache. You may feel irritable, forgetful or low in self-esteem, and you may have racing thoughts or constantly imagining the worst. You may notice that you lose your temper more easily, drink more or act irrationally.
