Meditation for STRESS REDUCTION What is Stress? Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, lack of concentration, and a variety of other physical symptoms such as headaches and fast heartbeats. It's almost impossible to live without some stress. And most of us wouldn't want to, because it gives life some spice and adventure. But too much stress may harm your health, your relationships, and your zest for life! What Causes Stress? We may think of stressful events as unpleasant ones, such as losing a job or having difficulties at home or at school. But changes for the better can also cause stress, like a wedding, a new house, and new baby. In a perfect world, maybe we could get away from stressful situations, or change them. Most often we can’t do that – but we can learn to control our response to those situations. And we can choose techniques that will reduce the effects of stress on our mental and physical health.
