Stress

Stress is a mental and physiological reaction to demands, threats or overloads that the body assesses as important.

Definition

Stress can be motivating when it is short-lived and proportionate to the task, but chronic stress increases the cost to the body, emotions, sleep and concentration. It is important to distinguish a stressor from a stress reaction and check whether the body has the conditions to regenerate after stress.
