Stress has been defined in different ways over the years. Originally, it was conceived of as pressure from the environment, then as strain within the person. The generally accepted definition today is one of interaction between the situation and the individual.

3. It is the psychological and physical state that results when the resources of the individual are not sufficient to cope with the demands and pressures of the situation. Thus, stress is more likely in some situations than others and in some individuals than others. Stress can undermine the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for organizations.

4. Stress is anything that places a demand on us physically, mentally, or emotionally. It makes us change the normal way we live.
Most of us think of stress as a crisis, but not all stress is bad. Without stress (astress), life would be boring. There would be no growth and no change.

5. With too much stress (distress), we reach overload
With too much stress (distress), we reach overload. Our ability to cope becomes limited, and we feel burned out.
However, some stress is good. It can provide an opportunity to bring about positive changes in our lives. We call this eustress. This type of stress leads to peak performance.

7. Situations that are likely to cause stress are those that are unpredictable or uncontrollable, uncertain, ambiguous or unfamiliar, or involving conflict, loss or performance expectations. Stress may be caused by time limited events, such as the pressures of examinations or work deadlines, or by ongoing situations, such as family demands, job insecurity, or long commuting journeys.

12. Ma’am, here’s a copy of my X-RAY. Remember the one I told you about?
I really need your help badly. Company doctor said that the best solution is to find a Chiropractor. I searched online and tried to get in touch with some of them. Ang mahal pala Ma’am! Meron yung iba na nakita ko sa FB na medyo kaya ng bulsa pero baka hindi sila totoong Chiropractor eh baka lalong lumala. Just like you suggested last time, I inquired re: health insurance pero they said na hindi covered ito kasi baka it started pa before I started working. May I have the number of the Chiropractor you told me about last time?

18. How to Deal with Stress HENRIK EDBERG
One thing at a time
Write everything down
Keep your daily to-do list very short
Don’t make mountains out of molehills
Spend 80% of your time focusing on a solution
Ask instead of guessing
Pack your bag before you go to sleep
Balance fully focused work with complete rest
Set clear boundaries for your day
Disconnect over the weekend

19. Make sure you take time to do what you love to do
Delegate
Eliminate
Be 10 minutes early
Stay on track by asking yourself questions every day
Let your lunch be a slow time of relaxing
Keep a very simple workspace
Build a zone of few distractions for your work hours
Get done with something that stresses or bothers you
If it does not get done then there is a day tomorrow too

20. Everything in its place
Check your etc. just once and as late in the workday as possible
 Limit your daily information intake
 Listen to yourself
Be here
Stop trying to do things perfectly
Ask for help
Talk it out with someone
Zoom out
Slow down

21. Tell yourself: Just take care of today
Just breathe
Be smart about the three fundamentals of energy (have enough sleep, eat healthy, and exercise)
