While there is no denying that the world loves a winner, it is important that you recognise the signs of stress in your behaviour and be healthy enough to enjoy your success. Stress can strike anytime, in a fashion that may leave you unaware of its presence in your life. While a certain amount of pressure is necessary for performance, it is important to be able to recognise your individual limit. For instance, there are some individuals who accept competition in a healthy fashion. There are others who collapse into weeping wrecks before an exam or on comparing mark sheets and finding that their friend has scored better.
Stress is a body reaction to any demands or changes in its internal and external environment. Whenever there is a change in the external environment such as temperature, pollutants, humidity and working conditions, it leads to stress. In these days of competition when a person makes up his mind to surpass what has been achieved by others, leading to an imbalance between demands and resources, it causes psycho-social stress. It is a part and parcel of everyday life.
Stress has a different meaning, depending on the stage of life you are in. The loss of a toy or a reprimand from the parents might create a stress shock in a child. An adolescent who fails in the examination may feel as if everything has been lost and life has no further meaning. In an adult the loss of his or her companion, job or professional failure may appear as if there is nothing more to be achieved.
Such signs appear in the attitude and behaviour of the individual, such as muscle tension in various parts of the body, palpitation and high blood pressure, indigestion, and hyperacidity. Ultimately, the result is self-destructive behaviour such as eating and drinking too much, smoking excessively, relying on tranquilisers. There are other signs of stress such as trembling, shaking, nervous blinking, dryness of throat and mouth and difficulty in swallowing.
The professional under stress behaves as if he is a perfectionist. It leads to depression, lethargy, and weakness. Periodic mood shifts also indicate the stress status of the students, executives, and professionals.

What does excessive stress NOT result in?

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
When I first moved to the city, I was taken aback by the pace of life. Everything was always moving, always in a rush. Cars honked their horns, people pushed and shoved their way through the crowds, and the noise was constant. At first, I found it exhilarating. I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself. But as the weeks turned into months, I began to feel overwhelmed.
I noticed that I was becoming increasingly anxious. I was having trouble sleeping, and my thoughts were constantly racing. I knew that I needed to do something to slow down and find some peace. That's when I discovered meditation.
At first, I was sceptical. I had always thought of meditation as something only hippies and yogis did. But I was desperate, so I gave it a try. I found a quiet place in my apartment, sat down cross-legged, and closed my eyes. At first, my mind was still racing, but I focused on my breath and tried to let go of my thoughts. Slowly, I felt my body relax, and my mind grew calmer.
Over the next few weeks, I began to notice the effects of my meditation practice. I felt less anxious and more centred. I was able to sleep better, and I felt more focused during the day. I started to see the world around me with new eyes. The noise and chaos of the city no longer bothered me as much. I felt more in control of my thoughts and emotions.
As I continued to meditate, I started to make other changes in my life. I started to eat healthier, exercise more, and spend more time outside. I found that these small changes had a big impact on my overall sense of well-being. I realised that the frenzied pace of city life had been taking a toll on me, and that I needed to take better care of myself.
Looking back, I can see how my decision to start meditating had a ripple effect on my life. It was the catalyst for a series of changes that have made me a happier and healthier person. I'm still amazed at how something as simple as sitting down and closing my eyes for a few minutes each day could have such a profound impact.
In conclusion, the fast-paced life of the city had a negative effect on my mental and physical health. But by taking the time to meditate and make other positive changes, I was able to improve my overall well-being. I encourage anyone feeling overwhelmed or stressed to give meditation a try. You never know how it might change your life.
