Stress is a universal concept and issue which is and has been studied by many people. Most people have experienced stress in one form or another. Stress is a factor in most peoples' lives which can cause people to experience positive and negative results. This paper will focus on the negative impact that stress can bring into the lives of people. This paper will also document three ways in which stress impacts my life and how I plan to identify the cause, address the issues and overcome the negative effects the stress has on me. Stress is a very vague condition to identify, many scholars have studied it and come up with different categories to help classify what type of stress is being suffered. Stress may be chronic, for example, poverty or other difficult living conditions that are ongoing in one's life. Stress can also be transitory, an act such as a noise that bothers a person. Finally, stress can be highly individual, this can consist of a bad relationship with a significant other or someone you care about. These different types of stress may be different in nature and can cause different reactions but the basic root for them is the human effect that situations can cause people to react in a negative manner due to the pressure people feel and the stress caused by them. There are a variety of situations that can cause stress; they are broken down into 2 categories: Physical Stressors are factors that produce stress through physical means. These means can range from exposure to extreme heat or cold, hunger, infection and pain. Psychological Stressors are life events that are not caused by physical actions. Examples of this are divorce, loss of employment, the death of a loved one and extreme financial hardship.
