Stress

Stress is the emotional response we experience when we have a challenge or emergency but feel we don’t have the resources to manage it. For example, you might have an important work deadline but not enough time to complete the task.

Stress also has physical symptoms such as fast heartbeat, sweating, or feeling on edge. Everyone has stress from time to time, and in small doses, it can actually be helpful. keeping you alert and focused, like when you’re meeting a big deadline at work. The stress response can boost your energy and keep you awake to perform at your best.

 

But, when stress sticks around without any breaks, it can start to wear you down and lead to burnout, affecting your overall well-being.​
