Discussion

Stress can result from something that happens around us or what happens within us. It can lead to a labor problem, a family crisis or an attack of anxiety or insecurity. It may be intermittent, transient or chronic. The main effect of stress is the mobilization of the system "fight, flight or fear" of the body. Suppose as so often happens in modern life - stress suffered by a person does not require any action. Suppose, for example, that a person comes to a pivotal appointment and caught in a traffic jam. No movement, no escape, no action. In that situation, the relaxation would be more useful than biochemical and psychological changes leading to the system of fight, flight or fear.

If the stress is short there is usually no problem because then, the body will have time to rest. This is what happens when stress is part of a game, a sport or even a relationship. The feeling of euphoria that experienced in these cases is the "positive stress" that, born of stimulating activities that can be abandoned at will. If stress is prolonged beyond the control of the subject, the body cannot rest. The effects of this "negative stress" may begin to appear. (Jones, Bright, 2001)
