Stress Management Ways To Cope

What is stress? Your body’s response to change. The body’s response to real or imagined dangers or other life events. A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.

What Is Stress? When people feel stressed by something going on around them, bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength. This could be good or bad. Good: If in physical danger (Can get away or fight) Bad: If emotional stress, no outlet for the extra energy in strength. https://www.brainpop.com/english/studyandreadingskills/stress/
