The reaction of the body and mind to everyday challenges and demands
Stress in Your Life Perception: is the act of becoming aware through
the senses. One way to manage stress is to change how you
perceive and react to events that cause it. Also, your reaction to stressful events depends on
your previous experiences.
Can have both a positive and negative effect.
Question:
What are some of the positive and negative effects?
Stressor: is anything that causes stress. They can be real or imagined, anticipated or unexpected.
What causes stress for you may not cause stress for someone else.
Work with a partner and discuss the following:
ACTIVITY: Share with each other what causes you stress. See if your partner also feels stress from that event/situation like you do.
Three phases:
1. Alarm
2. Resistance
3. Fatigue
When you perceive something to be dangerous, difficult, or painful, your body automatically begins the stress response.
Example: when your camping and you hear an animal. Or, your younger and you watched a scary movie. Later in bed you hear noises in the kitchen.
In the alarm stage, your body produces adrenaline. Adrenaline: Gives you a burst of energy and
causes many changes in your body. The physical response is largely involuntary. Fight or flight response: The changes cause
you to fight the stressor or “take flight” and escape.
It’s not always possible to fight or take flight from the stressor. If exposure to a stressor continues, your body adapts and reacts to the stressor. The body may continue to function at a higher level for a brief period of time.
Fatigue: If exposure to a stressor is prolonged, your body loses its ability to adapt. You begin to tire an lose the ability to manage other stressors effectively.
ACTIVITY: physical & psychological responses to stress.

The physical changes that take place in your body during the stress response can take a toll on the body.
Prolonged stress can lead to Psychosomatic Response.
Psychosomatic response: a physical reaction that results from stress rather than from an injury or illness. Some examples: Headache A weakened immune system High blood pressure Clenching the jaw or grinding the teeth Digestive disorders.
