Why are you stressed out?

Ease the pressures of everyday living. Everybody experiences anxiety and tensions. They are our self-protective reactions when we are confronted by threats to our well-being, happiness or self-esteem. So, while an occasional bout of anxiety and tension may be unpleasant, it is quite normal and need not be a cause of concern. The time to become watchful, says Dr George Stevenson, former president of the World Federation of Mental Health is when emotional upsets come frequently shake us severely and fail to wear off. Stress corresponds to mental tiredness which would eventually slow down the ability of functioning of the mind.
