1. ''STRESS''
PRESENTATION BY: EARL EMRAE A. ABDUL

2. Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused
by a difficult situation. Stress is a natural human response that
prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. It can be
defined as any cognitive, emotional, or physical pressure that when
built, affects an individual directly or indirectly by influencing his
work, work-related, or personal life.
WHAT IS STRESS?

3. SIGNS OF STRESS
Diffculty breathing.
Panic attacks.
Blurred eyesight or sore eyes.
Sleep problems.
Fatigue.
Muscle aches and headaches.
Chest pains and high blood pressure.
Indigestion or heartburn.
Stress can affect our
emotions, our body and how
we behave, in lots of
different ways. Sometimes
when we are stressed, we
might be able to tell right
away. But at other times, we
might keep going without
recognising the signs.

4. DISTRESS VS. EUSTRESS
Emotional, social, spiritual, or
physical pain or suffering that may
cause a person to feel sad, afraid,
depressed, anxious, or lonely.
People in distress may also feel
that they are not able to manage or
cope with changes caused by
normal life activities or by having a
disease, such as cancer.
Eustress is a kind of stress that
encourages us to try a new
hobby, learn new skills, and even
step outside our comfort zone. It
makes us feel good while we work
toward our goals, go through
significant life changes, or start
new chapters in our lives. It's a
stress response that benefits us.
