What is stress?

The Health and Safety Executive (H.S.E) have defined stress as ‘The adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed upon them’. The origins of stress can be linked to our primitive ‘fight or flight’ reaction to danger. People choose to stay and fight, leave or flee from, or freeze till the danger has passed; individuals react in the same way to real or perceived danger.

Exercise 1; Exercise; what is stress to you?

Think about what your own personal definitions of stress are.

Fight Flight Freeze

Within a matter of moments the body reacts to this perceived danger, you recognize a physical affect or perceive danger usually triggered by a thought, you feel scared or threatened. This affects your behaviour, and you might want to leave the situation you’re in or become agitated and restless if you can’t. Ultimately this leads to, and affects physical changes; adrenaline starts to be released into your system to fuel other physical changes. Your blood flow changes according to need. If you’re natural instinct is to run away from the situation your blood may flow towards your lower body, if your natural instinct is to fight your blood will travel to the muscles needed to fight; arms, chest etc. Your instinct to freeze and keep still will similarly lead to a shift in the circulation of blood. Whatever your body chooses to do your blood flow is being carried away from your head, stomach and other places it is not needed. The resulting physical reactions can be light headedness, sickness, cold clammy skin, hot and cold, sweaty palms palpitations or stronger, more irregular heart beat as your heart works harder. There can be many more effects and thousands of biological reactions in body and mind including the release of chemicals in your mind such as Cortisol which have been proven to have adverse health effects such as hypertension, heart disease diabetes etc.

You may of course be in a situation where you cannot fight or flight or even freeze such as in the workplace. This can be a worse situation because your adrenaline continues to be released until you make a decision and the adrenaline fuels changes in your body that you cannot extinguish so it materializes as nervous energy.

Good and bad stress

Stress is the ‘non- specific’ response to demands made upon the body which is the essence of what stress is (Selye 1975).Most demands on our body have a specific and unique effect. When exposed to heat, we sweat, when exposed to cold, we shiver. These actions within the body bring about specific responses that return it to a natural condition called homeostasis (Selye 1975). Any action requiring muscular effort places demands upon cardiovascular and musculature systems. The energy required to perform this sort of effort brings about a chain of specific responses. The heart beats faster, blood pressure rises to dilate vessels which increase the flow of blood to the muscles.
