What is stress?

The word "stress" means to put pressure or strain on something. When we talk about stress, we're usually talking about the effects of stress on our bodies and minds. Stress has a negative effect on physical health, and a negative effect on our mental health. There are many different types of stress, and each type affects us in a different way. Here are four types we will discuss in this article: physical emotional mental social

Physical Stress

Physical stress is the most common type of stress. If you're physically stressed out, you may experience physical ailments, such as headaches, stomachaches, colds, and so on. You may also feel physically exhausted. For example, if you're physically stressed out, you may feel exhausted, but your physical exhaustion isn't due to a lack of sleep.

Emotional Stress

Emotional stress is caused when you're overly concerned about something. For example, if you're emotional stressed out over a major exam you're taking, you may feel anxious throughout the entire exam. Emotional stress also occurs when you're afraid of something.

Mental Stress

Mental stress is caused by thinking too much about a situation. If you're mentally stressed out, you may be worried and anxious over something. For example, you may think about how you're going to pay your bills or a major exam that you're taking.

Social Stress

Social stress is caused by negative interactions with other people. For example, if a coworker is rude to you, you may be emotionally stressed out by that interaction. If you're socially stressed out, you may feel angry or frustrated.

Two types of stress relievers

1. Yoga can be a very effective form of stress relief. Not only does yoga help reduce stress, but it also can improve your mental health. Always see your physician before beginning any type of physical exercise.


2. Meditation is also a great way to reduce stress. When you're stressed out, it's important to take a few minutes to relax.

For example, yoga can help reduce stress, improve your mental health, and can even help you relax.
