Nature Of Stress

Relaxation techniques involve activities such as deep breathing, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation that help to lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being.

Social stress arises when individuals face challenges in social environments, such as workplace conflicts or academic pressure. For example, a student facing stress due to high parental expectations can experience social stress.

Sources of stress can be categorized into personal, environmental, and social factors. Stress can arise from various sources, which can broadly be classified as:

• Personal Stress: Includes health issues, financial problems, and time management difficulties.
• Environmental Stress: Noise pollution, overcrowding, and extreme weather conditions.
• Social Stress: Relationship conflicts, peer pressure, and societal expectations.
• Occupational Stress: Workload, job insecurity, and conflicts at the workplace.
