STRESS

Stress according to a psychologist Vincent Cornelli :
"Wear and tear of the body and mind caused by life's many changes and demands. It is affected by both the environment and the make-up of the individual in the environment"

All living things experience stress almost anywhere and anytime.

A new-born is stressed because suddenly it is brought into a new environment. It used to live in the womb of its mother.

A preschooler can experienced stress from parents and preschools. In this rat-race society, parents and teachers continue to pump as much info to the preschooler as possible.

When the kid enters the school, he is caught in the streaming or ranking exercise. He knows that the only way to please everybody is to get to the peak. But how many people can a peak occupies.

When the kid becomes an adult, he faces stress from his workplace, society and parents. Questions such as "when are you getting married?", "when are you going to have a baby?", "when is your promotion?", "when can you finish this task or project?"

When the adult grows old, stress is still around. Why my eyesight is failing? Why can't I walk faster? Why do I get tired so easily?

When a person is taking his last few breath of air, is stress still around? The answer is still YES because it is very tough to have that last few breath of air. The body systems are failing yet air is still needed desperately.

STRESS is always with us at all times.
