All we know is that it's not pleasant to deal with and becoming more common. If you want the actual definition (according to stress.org), “there is no single definition for stress, but the most common explanation is a physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.” Stress can cause feelings of sadness, frustration, and difficulty concentrating, and it can also cause physical strains such as headaches, muscle tension, and stomach problems, to name a few. Wow. Stress can really take a significant toll on our bodies!
It is important to take some time to recognize when we are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated or emotional/physical tension during a situation. More than ever, it is very common to fall under stress, given that we are living through a global pandemic. For this reason, it is essential to learn how to cope with our stress and find healthy ways to deal with these situations, as they will go a long way in living a healthy and positive life.
