What is Stress?
Stress has become an unavoidable consequence of modern living with the growth of industries, pressure in the urban areas, quantitative growth in population and various problems in day to day life so much so that what was meant to be a occasional gentle push to human ability, has ended up becoming an everyday shove.
Everybody knows how pressure & aggravation makes one feel. Not just simply in terms of emotional stress, but how they physically feel - the accelerated heartbeat, the butterflies in the stomach, the drying of the mouth. Stress has always had its physical component. In fact, that's what the stress response is: the priming of the body to either fight or run away from danger. Chronic, unpleasant stress, the kind that's so constant you consider it normal, can cause aches and pains that you might not attribute to emotions.
A sizeable part of the population who have stress-related pain aren't even aware of what they're fearful or angry about.
