What is stress?

Stress is an emotion that everyone will feel at some stage in their life. This emotion is the body's way to prepare us for a tough situation. It makes us more alert, focussed and increases stamina.

There is good stress and bad stress. Good stress is what we can thrive on such as when a driver has to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. Then there is bad stress, which is normally a long-term ongoing problem such as coping with a divorce, moving home and peer pressure. This type of stress can make us ill. This is also known as fight or flight.
