"Look to your dream, hold on to your dream... Just look at your own star, don’t compare yourself to others, don’t compare yourself with other people. Because, always, almost always, there will be people greater than or lesser than who you are. But when you look at your own star, it will guide your way to the darkness." Sir Ramon George Atento

“Stress is relative. I suppose when a person enjoys what he’s doing, then you don’t get tired. No matter how hard, if you really enjoy, you don’t really get tired.” Sir Christopher Torres

    Stress has been defined as ‘the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them’. (Finlay et al., 2010 page 141). It can affect everyone at some stage and is part of everyday life. Whilst moderate stress can help people react more quickly ‘prolonged or excessive levels give people no time to recover their strength, and this can lead to exhaustion, depression and physical illness.’ (Finlay et al., 2010 page 142).

This essay is primarily concerned with debating the effectiveness of a stress management course as an intervention, and for illustration, I will be referring to the…

    In his article “Fight of the Frazzled Mind,” Dr. Robert Epstein argues that the goal of living should be to attain a life that is productive, yet stress-free, because he believes with the right training and preparation, anyone has the ability to manage their stress—even before it starts. This can be achieved by using nondestructive, trainable skill sets, the two most important of which being stress prevention and source management. Many suggest, and put into practice, the belief that some stress is healthy, and can even assist one in becoming more productive. Dr. Epstein disagrees with this suggestion, and goes as far as to claim this “idea is flawed.” While he admits a low number of people “know how to be productive when they are not being pushed by stressors,” he goes on to stand by the idea that it is possible with the proper training.…

    Stress is present in everybody. It occurs daily in people’s lives. “Who’s not stressed? That’s just life. Life is stress,” says Kathleen Hall, founder of the Stress Institute in Atlanta (Jayson, 2012). Stress is a body condition that occurs in response to actual or anticipated difficulties in life (Rice, 1987). “The most current definitions state that stress is the mental and physical response and adaptation by our bodies to the real or perceived changes and challenges in our lives” (Donatelle, Rebecca 73) . There are many causes of stress and many different ways to handle stress. Most of our stress results from work and trickles down into our lives and cost us a lot to get our live back on track; the most common way of dealing with stress is by exercising.…

    The study of stress has captured the interest of both researchers and practitioners since the concept was first defined and explored by Seyle in mid 1940s. Seyle’s (1946) early work defined stress as the non specific response of the body to any demand made upon it to adapt, whether that demand produces pleasure or pain. Since Seyle posited his initial definition, scholars have debated its validity and have tried to establish a common definition of stress that incorporates current knowledge about the phenomenon. There is not one unanimously accepted definition for burnout concept (Gold, Roth, 1993). Disorder of burnout, initially distinguish in 1970’s by clinical psychologist Herbert Freudenberger and at the same time by Maslach and her associates…

    The ability to identify odors varies among people and decreases with age. Studies show there are sex differences in odor discrimination; women usually outperform males. Pregnant women also have increased smell sensitivity, sometimes resulting in abnormal taste and smell perceptions, leading to food cravings or aversions. Deficits in smell also increase with age as well as a prevalence of taste problems (the sense of smell tends to dominate the sense of taste). Chronic smell problems are reported in small numbers for those in their mid-twenties, with numbers increasing steadily with overall sensitivity beginning to decline in the second decade of life, and then deteriorating appreciably as age increases to over 70 years of age.…
