We know that stress is inevitable in our lives. We also need to adapt and use the necessary coping methods. Experiencing financial difficulties, working hard for a purpose, falling in love, all kinds of incompatibility can be stressors. Not all type of stress are bad, but they are a fact of life.

There are four main sources of stress:

Environmental factors
Social stressors (job problems, debts, conflicts, losing loved ones)
Physiological factors (such as puberty changes, diseases, aging, malnutrition, not doing sports and insufficient sleep)
The fourth source of stress is our own thoughts. In other words, how we interpret our current life and what we expect from the future can stress us out.

Therefore, stress begins with interpreting the situation we are in. If we interpret it positively, we do not feel anxiety, but if we draw a negative result, we become stressed. In this case, we may experience physical symptoms such as muscle tension, headache, abdominal pain, dry mouth, palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain. Our hands and feet get cold, our blood pressure rises, we experience some feelings like butterflies flying in our stomach. A number of negative effects may occur in our prolonged stress situations. A number of very important processes that keep our body healthy begin to stop. However, as soon as our brain gives the message that the situation is no longer dangerous, relaxation begins. So, if we direct our minds correctly, we can eliminate the effects of stress and we will be healthier. Otherwise, if stress continues in a chronic way, the likelihood of stress-related diseases increases. Studies over the years have found that people with stress-related disorders tend to overactivity in either the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, or gastrointestinal tract. For example, chronic stress causes muscle pain and fatigue in some people. In some people, it can cause hypertension, migraine headaches, ulcers, or chronic diarrhea. Intense stress can even cause suppression of the reproductive system, the onset of adult diabetes, an increase in respiratory system diseases such as asthma, osteoporosis (bone loss), frequent recurrence of colds, and even the emergence of some types of cancer.

When we experience stress, we inevitably stretch our bodies. When the stress is over, this tension disappears. For example; Severe neck pain may occur in a woman who is extremely angry, or abdominal pains may occur in a man who is anxious about the future. However, establishing our mind-body relationship and understanding the interactions between our thoughts and our body are very important for managing stress.

Stress management is very important for coping with stress. The goal is to reduce stress, but in a stress-free life it would very likely be boring. In addition, most of the stressors are positive factors. It's like working harder for success. Rather than escaping from the problems that challenge us, we should go after them. He should exercise regularly and establish good social relations. We should take care of our nutrition and sleep, and think optimistically and rationally. In addition, we should be able to add more fun to our lives and be able to cope with these problems more easily.

To a certain extent, stress increases our productivity in our lives. More than that makes us tired and reduces our success.
