Stress and work:

Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continuing changing environment and it also has physical and emotional effects on us and can generate positive or negative feelings. As a positive influence, stress can help us to come into action which can result in a new awareness and an exciting new viewpoint towards life.

When life takes a steep turn and everything seems to be going the wrong way, the bravest of men undergo a low phase called stress which has both physical and psychological consequences.
