BRIEF REPORT

Stress has come to be accepted and viewed by people as a necessary ingredient of life.  Though a little degree of stress encourages and is helpful in performance, stress when it becomes a cause of anxiety has to be got rid of.  Stress is detrimental to our health, performance and personality. For all these reasons and more, stress is generally considered as harmful.

How about changing our perspective about stress? When an individual is under stress, his or her heart pounds and races may have head ache or shiver or break into sweat. These are signs of anxiety.  What if we understand this process by its true nature?  What if we look at it as our body preparing itself to surmount a challenge?  - Our heart working hard to keep us alive, quick breathing as an effort of our body to take in more oxygen.  This perception would help us view stress as less inimical.

The pituitary gland secrets a hormone called oxytocin.  This hormone is a stress hormone. It is amazing to know that our body has an inbuilt mechanism to protect us from adverse instances. This hormone is secreted in plenty on socialization. Our heart has receptors for this hormone.  So in moments of stress, when an individual, rather than bottling up his emotions, socializes, he induces the supply of oxytocin, which has the power to repair and regenerate cells of our heart and keeps the blood vessels free from contraction and thus, averting a heart attack and increasing our longevity!

Let’s understand that stress is not all that bad. Our perception about has to change. Our body has a beautiful mechanism to cope it. Being empathetic, compassionate, taking care of people and the neighbourhood can go a long way in reducing the risk of premature death. More importantly, our jobs are demanding and stress is inevitable. So it wise to infuse a sense of purpose and meaning to the tasks done and work on our self-belief to overcome the stress that is likely to follow.
