Hi guys. You know Stress is an experience all of us share to a greater or lesser degree. The term ‘stress’ is very widely encountered everyday use, and a great deal has been return about it in recent years at a variety of levels , from specialist studies by members of the medical professions, to features in popular magazines.

The stress we usually hear and read about, and indeed experience ourselves as a widespread phenomenon of modern life, are most often the harmful, negative variety. The tend to associate it with disagreeable situation s like getting held up in a traffic jam, overworking, or losing a job, and with unpleasant physical manifestations such as headache or even a heart attack.

The good news is that stress has a positive side too. In fact stress is all about energy, and as such can perhaps best be described as a dynamic, stimulating and motivating life force. Life without it would be unbearably dull and featureless- indeed, in a totally stress free existence nothing would ever be achieved! Any activity requiring effort creates stress, which can be seen, therefore, as a vital spur and incentive. It is stress in one form or another that literally gets us going- out of bed in the morning; across the road in an alert fashion.Bye guys.
