Any event that requires us to make changes and put forth effort involves a certain amount of stress. Some events, such as deadlines and competitions, may produce feelings of eagerness and excitement, particularly when we think that we have a chance of succeeding. The arousal you feel when you try to meet these challenges is considered healthy. However, when you perceive a situation or event as being overwhelming, beyond your abilities to cope, and threatening to your well-being, then it is considered \u201cstressful.\u201d Stress can result in feelings of exhaustion, fatigue, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, and high blood pressure. Stress can also affect work performance and relationships.\u00a0Stress helps us perform, but if we experience too much stress, we begin to break down. Note that it is not the events themselves that cause stress, but how a person reacts to them. In the same situation, one person may feel a healthy amount of arousal, while another person may feel \u201cstressed out.\u201d<\/p>\n
