What is Stress?

Stress is the physical and mental responses of the body to demands placed upon it. Some stress can be positive and research suggests that a moderate level of stress makes us perform better. Too little stress can lead to boredom, whereas too much can be harmful. We are negatively impacted by stress when the pressures upon us exceed our resources to cope with these pressures.
