STRESS

Our life is wonderful yet it is very mystery. We never know what will happen and we simply can not imagine what we will go through on the next day. Actually that is very natural for a human being and as a human we are very limited. Above all of that, human is still a very unique creature. Our moods are changeable, sometimes it was happy or joy and sometimes it was bad or hard. There are many things that can affect our mood; one of them is when we feel stress. Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life - giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV.

Firstly, physical effects of stress are what we can realize easily. Stress causes our immune system to become weakening. A simple cold can become the flu or a lung infection with a stress person. In addition,  stress can cause  sleep problems and tiredness, which can go on to produce mood swings and hot temper. Stress also has a big effect on how our internal organs work. For example, the heart beats faster and the blood pressure increases during a stressful period. Secondly, psychological or emotional effects of stress also result on us in a bad way. We lose interest in our day-to-day activities because of stress. We are not able to focus on one thing. Other psychological effect of stress is losing power of discrimination. Our mind stops working correctly and we are not able to decide what is good and what is bad. Depression is also one of the main psychological effects of stress. To summarize, stress has negative effects on our health.

The second effect of stress is the declining of work productivity and study result.Working people who are under stress is hard to focus on their work, they seem to be easy to lose their temper and become irritable. Also, dynamic staffs may become apathetic in their work because the staffs get tired and depressed to work; the work productivity reduces remarkable. In addition, stress cause students falling in  academic performance. The stress sufferers are not able to pay attention to the lesson at school as well as at home. So, getting high mark is very difficult to them.

     

   One of most important effect of stress on quality of life is that lifespan becomes lower. Because of stress, many serious diseases arise and become harmful to people’s health as heart’s disease, cancer, brain and so on and all of these diseases could make one’s health be worst and  life expectancy releases. Moreover, stress also effects on family life. When you are stressful, it makes you feel cranky and unable to deal with even small problems as housework, or taking care of children. Sometimes, it makes you feel frustrated, lose your temper more often, and yell at others for no reason. Since then, relationship between members in family is reduced. Besides that, stress effects on community life. Actually, when you have stress, your brain is always passive; everything seems to be terrible, and everything you have done is meaningless. You do not want to communicative with anyone even though they are your best friends, relatives, and neighbours and so on. This will be dangerous because you may get depression.

Stress is really a disease that affects all of us living in a modern world. We can assume that everyone had suffered stress. It does have powerful  negative effects on our self as well towards people around us. In order to live better in the future, it is essential to look this problem very serious and try to solve it. Always calm and pray to God are good treatment yet simple way for us to live in better life. The major concern is some people think that stress is a natural problem that everyone had suffered but have they ever wonder what will happen if nobody ever tries to overcome this problem. Do we want to live in a stressful life or being surrounding by a ‘mindless mass of zombies’ society?
