Symptoms of stress

In order to learn to deal with stress effectively, individuals need to understand what is triggering the stress behavior. Stress is anything that places demands on the body physically, mentally or emotionally. A little bit of stress is normal and it keeps people motivated in their daily lives. However, too much stress can have a negative effect on the body and in personal relationships both at home and in the workplace.

The following represent some of the signs of someone suffering from stress:

•Frequent stomach upsets
•Trouble sleeping
•Feeling tired all of the time
•Feeling burned-out at work
•Frequent migraine or tension headaches
•Being impatient with other people

Managing stress can help people live longer and have better relationships with those they interact with each day. People that are under stress can have health problems that are a direct result of not managing stress properly.
