Iowa State University Mark Rowe-Barth Director of Student Wellness Stress Less Iowa State University Mark Rowe-Barth Director of Student Wellness

Stress Turn to the people around you and discuss the following questions What is stress? What does stress look like for you? What strategies do you use to de-stress?

What is Stress? Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a first job, starting college, or falling in love produce stress. Eustress: Positive stress such as falling in love, starting a new job, or coming to college. Distress: Negative stress such as failing a test, breaking up with a significant other, or not getting along with a roommate. http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-stress-affects-your-brain-madhumita-murgia
