Stress

STRESS is a scientific term which could be Mental or Physical. How come this term has become common in the past few years in almost every human being. It makes me wonder why Stress is playing a significant role today in most of our lifes. Looking into the root cause as to why Stress has gained more importance in the recent years gives me only one rational - Increase in Population. Does it ring any bell???

Population surge causes more competition which urges a person to excel in whatever one does and this in turn is grown as stress within oneself. Basics of Physics is that "Volume built up in a closed container releases out with more force". This simple working principle forms the base for a Pressure Cooker. Stress being build up in a Human mind if not released will erupt out very furiously.

Stress not released can cause a lot of side effects to a person. High Blood Pressure is one of the basic disorder which might lead to stroke. Stress is also one of the reason for break in relationship and increasing divorce rate.

The million dollar question even in a millionare's mind is how to De-Stress. Newton states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Stress in could be Stress out, but how? One simple way is to divert yourself into something else indulging in which makes you more relaxed.
