]]> 2018-11-13 11:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303669146 There’s no universally agreed medical definition of stress. At its most simple, stress is your body's physical response to mental or emotional pressure. Our jobs, relationships, family life or money can all add to our levels of stress. When you’re stressed, your body believes it’s under attack and switches to what's known as ‘fight or flight’ mode. As a result, a mix of hormones and chemicals are released into your body so that you prepare for physical action. Blood might also be diverted to muscles, causing you to lose concentration or become less able to digest food. https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303673970 2018-11-13 12:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303673970 https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674081 2018-11-13 12:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674081 https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674109 2018-11-13 12:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674109 https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674133 2018-11-13 12:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674133 https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674227 2018-11-13 12:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidya2/cgswfmer6s10/wish/303674227 Stress can affect how you feel, think, behave and how your body works, but we all experience it differently. Sometimes you might feel like you can't see beyond the thick fog of stress, but other times you might not even recognise you’re stressed. Early signs of stress can include sweating, headaches, and losing your appetite or your ability to concentrate. Spotting these signs early, and taking appropriate action, will help prevent your stress from getting worse.
