So what is stress? According to modern science, the official definition comes from Han Seeley. In the 1950s. He studied animals and their hormone responses. The official definition for stress is the nonspecific response of a living organism to any pressure or demand. In other words, it's a living creatures bodily response to change.
And in our world, there is so much change that we will be, we will have this response. So, that's our living creatures response to change, or pressure as well. You can think of it as pressure. And now, it's important to know that stress doesn't come from nowhere. It doesn't appear randomly. There are stressors, that trigger that caused the body to react in this way, they can be things like physical danger, hunger, being late for work, and the associated mind story of Oh, I might lose my job, you know, oh, I might get, I don't know, I talking to that kind of thing I might be given extra work because I'm late.
So are thinking about what's happening oftentimes makes things worse, keeps the stress reactions. Building actually, then there are positive ones, stressors aren't necessarily negative in the way that change isn't necessarily negative, getting married. I don't have personal experience with that at this moment. But there's a lot that goes into it isn't there. And the end result is something quite positive. having kids applying for a job.
All of these kinds of things. chances are they'll involve some form of stress because there's change involved, positive or negative. Stress doesn't have to be seen as weakness. It doesn't have to be seen as a sign that someone is incapable of anything. Yeah, it's just simply a living creatures bodily response to change. And because change happens all around us, and we're all living, as far as I can tell, everyone experiences stress
