What is stress?
At the most basic level, stress is our body’s response to pressures from a situation or life event. What contributes to stress can vary hugely from person to person and differs according to our social and economic circumstances, the environment we live in and our genetic makeup. Some common features of things that can make us feel stress include experiencing something new or unexpected, something that threatens your feeling of self, or feeling you have little control over a situation.

“Whenever I get stressed or overwhelmed, I like to list everything out and put them into order of importance. It helps me to think that everything can be under control and it puts my mind at some ease with the deadlines looming. Stress is likely to affect us all at some point in our lives, with work being one of the largest triggers. We can’t always avoid it but we can prevent it getting worse”
