These days we have our end semester exams. So, recently we faced Organizational Behaviour subject. It consists of a lesson about **Stress & Stress Management**. So, I feel like writing something about it because I thought it'll be important to you as we're dealing with different things, such as studies, work-life, family, and relationships.

As humans, we have to cope with many situations. When we're not fitting into something, then there will be demanding or threatening stimulus and it automatically becomes a problem which we tend to think so hard and fight with them in our minds. It's called **stress**. We may be stressed due to the workload, time limitations or heavy tasks to complete. Actually, these are related to work life. They're **challenge stressors** and we can overcome them in a very short time. And there is something called **hindrance stressors**. It's not good for us as it'll be a barrier to achieving our goals and objectives. It won't let you reach your goal. It's harmful more than challenge stressors.


**Signs**

If we're stressed then it shows from our body, mind emotions and behaviour.

As I think anyone can be stressed due to heavy workload or unbearable personal matters. There're so many external reasons affecting stress. Not only heavy workload, family, relationship matters or personality problems but also uncertainties in the economy, politics, or technology are also affected by stress because, in the end, every factor is holding a reason for us to be stressed.

**Effects**

The outcome of being stressed can be affected individually or organizationally. The above-mentioned signs of stress finally become symptoms of which leads to various diseases physiologically, psychologically and behaviorally. 

•	High Blood Pressure
•	Cancer
•	Stroke
•	Excessive smoking and drinking
•	Violence
•	Family problems
•	Depression

And if you're working, then it'll affect negatively your job performance and work-related attitudes.

**What Can We Do To Manage Stress?**

•	Exercise 
•	Meditation
•	Be realistic
•	Healthy habits
•	Taking one thing at a time
•	Lead a simple life
•	Relaxation
•	Avoiding unnecessary competitive situations
•	Recognizing and accepting personal limits
•	Always try to enjoy what you're doing
•	Ignoring criticism

By looking at these factors, we can say everything is connected like a chain. Thus, as an individual, we have to cope up with such a stressful situation individually. Therefore, it would be better to prevent stressors and controlling the consequences of stress as much as possible from the very first moment.
