Introduction:
Over the years stress management has become a big factor or part in our lives and how we cope with on a daily basis can be really challenging. One of the biggest problems is learning how to recognize this problem and dealing with it. After extensive research that doctors have gone through, it is now becoming less challenging because of the new techniques and methods. Making society aware of the potential threats of stress and anxieties is basic the most basic but very effective. In this paper I will discuss what stress is; relations of stress and anxiety; types of anxieties; causes of anxiety due to stress; how to deal with anxiety; percentages of U.S population.
What is stress?
Stress is an emotional and bodily reaction to physical, psychological or emotional demands. Stress is a fact of life and all of us go through it one way or another. Learning how to manage stress the right can become useful and healthy when viewing events as challenges and trying to solve them. On the other hand unmanaged stress can become distressful and unhealthy. This occurs when viewing certain events as threats and not seeing the positive. (www.middlebury.edu) Stress is always present with everyday decisions, but all that matters is how those decisions are navigated; the outcome will either be satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

How does anxiety relate to stress?
Stress is what causes anxiety, which, in small doses, is healthy, because it motivates you to get things done. Stress is both additive and cumulative. It adds up over time until a state of crisis is reached and symptoms appear. A series of little things, which make you anxious and nervous, can over a period of time, be harmful. Knowing your body and how it operates is a preventing method that everyone needs to be aware of. Always knowing when to blow some steam off, before the mind and body go over board.
