Throughout our lives, our bodies experience stress. Whether it is getting up in the morning after staying up late or learning of the death of a loved one, stress is a part of our everyday routine. Scientists have conducted many studies examining different stressors and the effects it has on the human body. Our body has subconsciously developed its own ways for dealing with the stressors in our lives. Stress is a daily occurrence, yet sometimes the body struggles to cope with it properly and becomes depressed due to the lack of motivation we experience.

We deal with stress every day and may not even realize it. Stress is the body's response to any demand made on it that comes across as threatening or challenging. There are two different types of stress: eustress and distress. Eustress is thought as the beneficial stress, for example running or biking, as long as it is moderate exercise. Distress is unpleasant and is linked to negative emotions. Stress is unavoidable in life because it would mean a total absence of stimulation, also known as death. Stress can stem from many things in our life. For example, cataclysmic events are known as chronic stressors, which include death, war, birth, divorce, etc. Other stressors include job stress, conflict, and the hassles of daily life.

Stress is a daily part of our lives. Our bodies may not show that they are put under stress, but when you examine your actions closer, you will realize that your body is automatically coping with the stressor. Other times, you are forced to deal with the stress, even if it is the last thing you want to do. When your body struggles when dealing with stress, it is very easy to become depressed. Therefore, you should never let stress build up and deal with it as soon as possible to ensure your health and well-being.
