Learning to manage stress is vital to leading a healthy happy life. You are as unique as your body's reaction to stress, everyone is different. Stress is how the body responds to outside situations and problems. Sometimes these situations become out of control and your body responds by developing health problems or by lashing out emotionally. It is trying to make you stop the stress. You might develop high blood pressure, ulcers, or have a heart attack. Sometimes the response is different, you might be angry, aggressive or overly sensitive. Only by learning to control both the stress trigger and your response to it, will you be able to have complete stress management skills.
Triggers can be a variety of things. It could be something immediate such as the threat of physical danger, preparing for a date or a speech. These situations are instant and usually over quickly allowing your body to return to normal. The trigger could be something more serious and long term such as a divorce, financial problems, moving or a sick family member. These long term situations tend to have a more dangerous effect on the body and person.
