WHAT IS STRESS?
We all need a challenge in our lives. Without it the spring goes out of our step and our lives become monotonous, unproductive and frustrating. Our creative juices and coping mechanisms work best under a certain amount of pressure. The problem is getting the balance right. If the strings of a violin are too loose to play properly, but if they are too tight they will snap.
It's the same with the human body. Too little pressure is as bad as too much. Pressure involves the exertion of continuous force, coercion or restraint on someone or something. Of itself, it is neither positive nor negative. The strings of a violin produce their notes by being stretched to a particular tension.is an optimum level of pressure which each individual can cope with without being over-stretched. This varies from person to person. We're all different. What exhausts one will energize another.
How & when Stress can energize someone?
Some like to be stressful because they generally produce such strong positive emotions in us. The enthusiasm, happiness and joy we experience when we are competing in sporting events or involved in a loving relationship usually far out-weigh the negative elements of uncertainty, anxiety and jealousy. Interestingly, when we pick up on these positive energies our resistance to stress is actually increased and our capacity to cope with setbacks grows. This is an insight which, as we will see, can help us deal with the negative stress in our lives. But, no matter who we are, there comes a point beyond which genuine fatigue leads to exhaustion and burn-out (cf. Performance Curve).

Ability to Cope
A healthy self-image depends in great measure on our ability to deal with life's problems effectively. The central element in all stress is our belief that we are no longer able to cope. The fact is that this belief may not have been undestood well.
The reality is that most people who experience stress do have

LOW PRESSURE is stressful. It is a particular problem for the unemployed and for those with repetitive and undemanding jobs. Lethargy is destructive and boredom can be soul-destroying. Without the challenge to achieve, we under-utilize our skills and even loose our sense of purpose and meaning in life. OPTIMUM PRESSURE allows us to live a balanced, integrated life. Our performance is enhanced by manageable pressure and leaves us with a sense of well-being and motivated due to achievements. HIGH PRESSURE leads to exhaustion and diminishes our performance. If we go into over-drive rather than heed the warning signals, we only compound our problems and suffer severe anguish and distress. |
