What is stress? – Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry or nervous. Stress is your body’s reaction to a challenge.
In a very short bursts, stress can actually be a positive thing and can help you avoid danger or meet a deadline, but in a long bursts it can be, of course, very bad for your mental health.
What is important to note, is that stressful situations can open your eyes to many things and reveal people. Reveal their attitude and behavior towards you, reveal their nature and character, and sometimes (talking about short bursts) its good to have a chance and go through some tough times, as such times let you understand who your real friends and supporters are. People stop playing in an uncomfortable and stressful situations, they show their real face and attitude. Therefore, non-standard situations are so useful in life. Nature gives us unique opportunity to find out who is really close to us.
Perceive stressful situations as a life experience and disclosure of people. Let go of people who no longer want to be in your life calmly and without regret, and over time, you will realize that you are surrounded by a completely different circle.
There will always be people and situations that will make you feel stressed or uncomfortable. Embrace those moments and live through them, because at the end of the day they will make you stronger, happier and surrounded by only right people.
