  1. Stress: a natural part of your life Lesson 1

  2. Objectives: • Describe the relationship between stress and stressors • Distinguish between distress and positive stress

  3. Describe the relationship between stress and stressors Stress is the combination of a new or possibly threatening situation and your body’s natural response to the situation. A Stressor is anything that causes a stress response. Stressors can be physical, mental, emotional, or social.

  4. Distinguish between distress and positive stress When a stressor triggers a stress response, your body wants to return to an unstressed condition. Sometimes, your response leaves you exhausted or sick. This response is part of negative stress, or distress. Distress is the negative physical, mental, or emotional strain in response to a stressor.

  5. But not all stress is negative.—sometimes called eustress.Eustress is the stress response that happens when you win, succeed, and achieve. Positive stress gives you extra energy. Positive stress may help you achieve more than you think you can. It can motivate, energize, and excite you. And positive stress can leave you feeling calm, happy, and relaxed.

  6. Stressors Never Come One at a Time Every day, you deal with stressors you have faced many times, such as quizzes, disagreements with friends, and worrying about how you look. Most of the time, you deal with these routine stressors. But if a major life event, such as the death of a favorite grandparent, is suddenly added, your stress level may change quickly. All routine stressors may become major problems, and even small stressors may seem beyond your control.
