STRESS

Hello, everyone. Hello teacher. Today, I’m going to talk about STRESS. My presentation is divided into
3 parts. I’ll start with the definition of stress, then I will look at sources of stress, next, I’ll discuss the
harmful effects of stress and finally its solutions.
1. What is the stress?
- Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress is a
natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. Everyone
experiences stress to some degree. The way we respond to stress, however, makes a big difference to our
overall well-being.

2. What can cause stress?

- Top sources of stress:
o Job pressure: When you have to work and your boss gives you many deadlines.
o Money: You feel short of money, your salary is too small and you need to pay living expenses.
o Health related: When you experience insomnia, it leads to poor health and makes you stressed or
suffer from psychological diseases such as being easily sad, easily angry, or crying easily.
o Relationships: For example, my parents rarely confide in me and don't listen to me.
o Media overload: Sometimes receiving too much negative information on social networks affects
your mood and emotions.
- We all have stress. Whether it’s caused by money worries, tomorrow’s exam, or pressure at word, its
effects can be harmful. But there are ways to manage our stress.

3. How does stress affect us? What can we do to manage stress?

- Stress affects both the mind and the body. A little bit of stress is good and can help us perform daily
activities. Too much stress can cause physical and mental health problems.
Long-term activation of the stress response system can cause major problems, including anxiety,
depression, headaches, heart disease, sleep problems, weight gain, and memory and concentration
impairment.
- It is vital to learn how to deal with stressors in your life. Some thing you can do to manage stress, such
as:

 Breathe deeply: try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. It’s help you feel
more composed, more comfortable.
 Exercise: What’s good for your overall health also keeps stress levels low.
 Listen to music: Studies show that listening to your favorite music lowers your stress.
 Get a pet: If you’re stressed and don’t have a pet, consider a trip to the pet store.
 Plan ahead: A simple, “If X happens, I’ll do Y,” exercise can help you face new challenges.
 Stay positive: Keep a list of positives in your mind to go to when you start to feel stressed.
In my opinion, Stress is very common in everyone. But most importantly, we should face it directly and
think in the most positive direction possible. Everything will be fine, we will get through that time of
crisis.
