#60 What is Stress, The Lesson All College Freshman Get Day One
Stress is a reaction that our body produces when we think we cannot meet the demands based on the amount of resources we have available. Those resources are things like time, money, man power, sunlight or nice weather, tools, knowledge, etc.
In caveman times stress was a good thing it helped people to fight, run, outsmart the predator. Those stress responses were meant to help people to survive. Those who had the stress responses passed them onto the next generation.
Stress is a good thing, it helps us to get more done, act without thinking, run, fight, push, argue, etc. In the short-term it helps us to tackle the task at hand, in the long-term it can harm our mental health, our relationships and ultimately our overall wellness. This also can make us angry, anxious and chronically stressed out.
The seven dimensions of wellness are physical, psychological, intellectual, financial, social, spiritual and environmental.
