..To live under pressure.
Stress is before a whole normal reaction of adaptation to a situation. In a society that always asks for more productivity, some people will need situations of emergency, conflicts or complexity to pass themselves and to work in an efficient way. Of others, on the contrary, will react more violently to what seems them to be an aggression. If stress is interrupted, the balance comes back. But if he becomes chronic, there is danger, because he pumps a lot of energy while constantly asking the organism to adjust. He modifies the nervous and hormonal balance and lower the capacities of concentration and productivity. Without forgetting the psychological repercussions more or less stern, and the cardiovascular problems, as hypertension, that he can generate.
..To fear stress
There is not a remedy miracle against stress. To really live his/her/its life to work, it is necessary to accept the existence of pressures and to identify them. To each to elaborate the strategy that invites him. In most cases, it is not the stressful situation that counts the more, but rather the value that one grants to him.
In a first time, the self-knowledge, the lucidity and the receding in relation to a situation, are weapons to adapt or to reduce stress. To learn to fight against stress to learn to analyze the conflicts in order to extract of it of the positive data, to relativize the things, to have confidence in itself, to protect itself/themselves and to pull lessons of the failures, is necessary then.
