      Conclusion

      Introduction

      Stress, it seems unavoidable because life itself is full of situations that cause stress and anxiety.

      Things that seem out of our control just stack up until we feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. 

      What is stress?  Stress is pretty much anything that causes strain to our bodies; it can be physical, emotional, or psychological. 

      Basically, stress is our body’s natural reaction to something that has happened.  Some stress is not harmful to us; that sort of stress is referred to as eustress. 

      Eustress can be called positive stress, which seems at odds with how we normally think of stress.  However, according to the above definition, stress is anything that causes strain on our bodies, so what kind of stress causes strain in a good way? 

      The rush you get when playing sports, that adrenaline rush is a type of stress, but it is a good feeling. 

      You might feel the same thing on a roller coaster, skiing, or anything that we find exciting and thrilling; it releases adrenaline and cortisol, which causes the heart rate to increase, diverts blood flow to our main muscle groups all of which give us a push of energy and a quick increase in strength. 

      That response to stress, good or bad, is called the fight-or-flight response and it is designed to help humans get out of stressful situations quickly.

      When the danger is gone, everything goes back to normal and adrenaline and cortisol will no longer be released into the body.  Roller coasters are an example of how we willingly trigger that response for fun.

      Stress that is negative or harmful to us can be broken down into two categories, acute stress, and chronic stress. 

      Acute stress is stress that occurs short term, it is the stress that we feel when a situation causes us distress.  Acute stress is the typical stress that people encounter and deal with on a day-to-day situation. 

      Chronic stress is stress that is long term and very damaging to the human body.  The body’s response
