[00:00.00] Stress [00:03.89]Most people feel stress at some time in their lives. [00:10.74]Some people like this pressure and work better because of it. [00:17.40]Other people are not comfortable with any stress at all; [00:23.95]they soon become unhappy if they feel stress. [00:29.99]Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldn't usually do, [00:36.94]such as overeat,smoke,drink or use drugs. [00:43.18]Stress,however,is a very normal part of life. [00:50.02]It is important to understand that stress [00:55.20]doesn't come from an event itself; [00:59.43]that is,from the things that are happening in our lives. [01:05.80]It comes from the meaning we give to that has happened. [01:11.05]For example,a crying baby may be stressful to one person, [01:18.11]but it may not bother another person at all; [01:23.46]a traffic jam may be stressful to one person [01:29.10]while another person may be able to stay calm. [01:34.56]We can experience stress any time we feel we don't have control. [01:41.80]It can come from a feeling that we can't do anything about a situation. [01:49.17]Basically,it is the body's way of showing anxiety or worry. [01:56.61]Stress in not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. [02:05.07]It is also influenced by how tired we are, [02:10.51]whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, [02:17.04]whether we get enough physical exercise,and wether we can relax. [02:23.99]The point at which stress becomes a problem changes from day to day, [02:31.22]even for the same person. [02:35.59]In some situations,if we are rested and feel good about ourselves, [02:42.93]a little stress will not be a problem. [02:47.89]In another situation,if we are tired or feel unsure about our abilities, [02:55.54]even a small amount of stress can cause problems. [03:01.29]For example,we might begin to worry about things that are happening yet [03:08.34]instead of working on things that are happening now. [03:13.80]Or we might not feel able to find solutions to everyday problems. [03:21.46]If we feel stressed,there are several things that we can do. [03:28.20]First,we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly. [03:35.85]We can also take some time out of our worried, [03:41.60]busy schedule to notice the small things in life. [03:47.34]Smell the air,look at the flowers, [03:52.78]notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree [03:58.13]-these activities can do much to quiet us [04:03.20]and give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule. [04:09.44]We need to take care of our bodies. [04:15.09]Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick [04:20.73]and to develop physical problems related to stress. [04:26.27]We need to get enough rest,eat well,and do some regular exercise. [04:34.00]Scientists have found that for our minds to think clearly, [04:40.06]our bodies need to have certain vitamins and minerals; [04:46.12]some of the most important vitamins are the B-complex vitamins. [04:53.96]Doing regular exercise is also a physical way [04:59.81]to let go of angry feelings or feelings of helplessness. [05:06.08]Finally,we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. [05:13.42]One we have found it,we need to begin to change that part of our lives. [05:21.99]If we believe that we can control stress, [05:27.84]we can begin in control our lives. [05:33.09]Then we can start to use stress in a positive way.
