How to Identify Stress ROCKLAND - Many people think that stress
is always bad and that it's everywhere so there's no escape from
it. According to the American Psychological Association, these
are just two of the many common myths about stress. The fact is
that stress is a normal part of life and everyone will
experience it at some point. Stress can be viewed as positive or
negative and is linked to the fight or flight response. Examples
of positive stress may include preparing for an important
meeting, moving or getting married. Examples of negative stress
may include losing a loved one, a divorce or being seriously
injured. Everyone looks at situations differently, so it's
important to know that others are affected differently too.
Everyone has different skill levels for dealing with stress and
different resources they utilize when needed. There are both
physical and emotional signs of stress. Emotional signs may
include a lack of motivation, oversleeping or an inability to
sleep, moodiness and depression. P
