A very Good Afternoon to my respected seniors and my friends.Here I am present to share my what I have learnt in the training program for stress management organised by the HR department of BSL.
The presentation would flow in this order.First we need to understand what stress is and its types.Then we would talk about the General Adaptation Syndrome.Next we would know about the affects of Stress in our lives and some methods to cope with.
Stress is the “wear and tear” our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment. It has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings. As a positive influence, stress can compel us to action. As a negative influence, it can result in feelings of disruption, rejection, anger, and depression which in turn can lead to health problems such as headache, upset stomach, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Seyle (1930) suggested that stress could be broken down into two elements—distress and eustress.
1.The “fight or fight” response which causes you to be ready for physical activity. However it decreases the effectiveness of the immune system which makes us susceptible to illness. 2. If stress continues, the body adapts to the stressors it is being exposed to. For example, if the stressor is starvation, the person experiences a reduced desire for physical activity to conserve energy, and the nutrients from any food intake is maximised.3. Stress persist for a long time, the body’s resistance may be reduced and may collapse quickly. People who experience long time stress may have heart attack, severe infections or chronic pain or illness.
