Read Time: 4 minutes

Remember the last time when you met your friends and spent some gala time with them?

Remember the last time you had a fun afternoon with your cousins? Remember when you last sat together with your family and played cards?

If yes, then you are definitely on the right track in life and if not, then start thinking right now.

Most often we hear people saying that the childhood days contribute the most to the best memories in life, but do you know why? Back then it was a time when people were carefree and nonchalant and did things for themselves.

However, in the pursuit of growing up and in the rat-race to compete and top the list, the child in ourselves got caged behind the bars of responsibilities, social norms, and work pressure.

Fighting Out The Odds 

Be it the burden of expectations or peer pressure, be it the societal taunts or the fear of lagging behind, everything has forced us to be conscious of what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. Today, most people are doing things or performing tasks not for themselves or because they are willing enough to do so, but rather as a medium to cater to the needs of the people around.

Agreed that the 9 to 5 job cycle is mandatory and essential to survive, but in ensuring the survival of the fittest, are we surviving enough?

From getting up in the morning to going back to bed at night, stress has become a constant companion of ours. From students to working professionals, everyone is under stress most of the time. Meeting the deadlines, scheduling presentations, studying for exams, and whatnot, it leaves no opportunity for any to evade it.

Are We Living Our Life Or Just Doing Enough?

But, the best part is that, that we have become so comfortably numb with stress as our friend that we do not realize when it overpowers us. And, this where we tend to go wrong. Most often these days, people lose their temper or tend to be harsher on themselves in the journey of reaching their set goals but seldom do they realize that it is what triggers stress as a malady.

What Is Stress?

Stress can be looked at as the body’s response to stimuli or threats. You must be aware of the 3Fs – fear, fight and flight, and stress are basically what triggers us to choose one from these three and react to a situation. Besides, stress is also important as it is a means by which the body makes you extra aware of your surroundings, extra cautious of what you do and in turn, protects our life by making your body ready for any danger.

Which One Dominates Our Life?

When working properly and efficiently, this mechanism is very essential for one’s survival and more so, as it boosts one’s focus, energy, alertness, and productivity. When in a state of emergency, it is this mechanism that automatically decides and works to protect and save your life, both externally as well as internally.

When Does Stress Become Harmful?

However, though the stress mechanism helps us meet challenges and sharpen our skills, just like greats powers bring greater responsibilities, this state switched on for long can lead to several life issues and chronic illnesses. When we are always under stress, our body’s metabolism functions differently.

High blood pressure, faster heart rate, higher glycolysis, the influx of stress hormones and whatnot, all these things bring in a huge change and deviation from the normal functioning of the body, as a result of which our health, mood, productivity, reaction, etc… starts getting affected adversely.

Analyzing Stress

And so, sit back and reflect for if you find yourself feeling frizzled frequently or are experiencing a sudden jolt of memory losses, then its high time to consider taking some action towards it to normalize your systems and maintain the in-built equilibrium of the body.

How much stress is too much?

Because of the widespread damage stress can cause, it’s important to know your own limit. But just how much stress is “too much” differs from person to person. Some people seem to be able to roll with life’s punches, while others tend to crumble in the face of small obstacles or frustrations. Some people even thrive on the excitement of a high-stress lifestyle.
