"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another"
Are you stressed? Is your stress healthy or unhealthy? Have you ever felt you are not able to handle your stress?
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that
makes you feel frustrated, angry or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or
demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet
a deadline. Stress is key for survival, but too much stress can be detrimental. Emotional stress
that stays around for weeks or months can weaken the immune system and can even cause
medical problems such as high blood pressure, fatigue, depression, anxiety and even heart
disease. Stress can promote disease. It can make you gain weight and make you look older.
Stress makes it difficult to control your emotions. It can affect your love life. Stress can also
change your personality. Often you will be able to handle stress. However, there will be
instances when you cannot and will feel overburdened by stress.

time you talk to your counsellor. Online counselling has proven to be remarkably effective in
