What is stress

• Stress is a feeling that people have when they
  feel overburdened and struggling to cope with
  demands. It is your way of responding to any kind
  of situation or threat. Sometimes even positive
  changes in life such as promotion, childbirth,
  produce stress. During stress heart rate
  increases, breathing quickens, muscles tighten
  and blood pressure rises. Hence, these also are
  the signs of stress and it needs to be treated.
• Stress is not always bad. Sometimes it can help
  you to perform under pressure and motivates you
  to do your best. It also helps you to meet
  challenges in life. But beyond a certain point,
  stress starts causing major damage to your
  health, mood, productivity, relationships etc
