Believe it or not - You Need Stress in Your Life!
Stress adds flavor, challenge and opportunity to life. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting! Stress can mean that you are stretching yourself and learning new things. You are out of your comfort zone.
However, too much or prolonged stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. Recurrent physical and psychological stress can diminish self-esteem, decrease interpersonal and academic effectiveness and create a cycle of self-blame and self-doubt. It is important for your health that you find the optimal level of stress that you can learn to manage effectively.
