Stress in Life
    All of us experience stress, to one degree or another, in our everyday lives. / Stress is the body’s reaction to an event / that is experienced as disturbing or threatening. / In the contemporary world, we are more likely to experience stress / when we face overwhelming responsibilities at work or home. / Stress is adaptive when it prompts us to take action to solve a problem. / But if we continue to expose ourselves to the stress, / stress becomes a negative experience. / If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. / First, we can take breathing exercises, such as yoga, / and we can do some physical exercises to help reduce stress. / Then, talking things through with a good listener / can help us to put things into a more realistic perspective. / Finally, bringing our expectations into line with reality / and learning to say no when we choose to offers immediate relief. /
