1st chapter of Global Wellness Project 

Introduction: 

There has been no definition of stress that everyone accepts. Therefore, it’s difficult to measure stress if there is no agreement on what the definition of stress should be.

People have very different ideas with respect to their definition of stress. Probably the most common is, “physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension”. Another popular definition of stress is, “a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.”

General Observations: 

Stress:  Positive Or Negative

Stress is not always harmful since increased stress results in increased productivity. Any definition of stress should also include good stress, or eustress. For example, winning a race or election is just as stressful as losing, or more so. Any definition of stress should similarly explain the difference between eustress and distress.

Negative / harmful stress: 

   There are lots of reasons to develop stress in life related with our surroundings. Mainly we can calculate few of them as mentioned below.

3. Addiction to TV

7. Sleep Deprivation

2. Decrease efficiency to work

8. Future of nation / Political climate
9. Violence / crime

Eustress Or Positive stress                              

Eustress produces positive feelings of excitement, fulfilment, meaning, satisfaction, and well-being. Eustress is all about sufficiently challenging yourself without expending all your resources (as per Psychologist Dr. Kara Fasone). 

This type of stress empowers you to grow in three areas.

• Emotionally, eustress can result in positive feelings of contentment, inspiration, motivation, and flow.
• Psychologically, eustress helps us build our self-efficacy, autonomy, and resilience.
• Physically, eustress helps us build our body (e.g., through completing a challenging workout) 

Sometimes the attitude of a person can be decided a stress is distress or eustress. 

Setting challenging goals around your interests or passions is another example of eustress. As humans, we have an innate ability to learn. Learning new things can be challenging. And growing expertise in an area doesn’t happen in a straight line.

There’s typically that learning stage where you may be absolutely terrible. But you’re learning from those mistakes. As you start seeing small wins and continue to build self-efficacy, you’re motivated to continue learning and improving.

Traveling is inherently stressful, especially when you’re exploring a faraway place with a different language and customs.

At the same time, you’re immersing yourself in a new and interesting place, with various foods to enjoy, new places to see, and a whole culture to experience.

Although stressful, traveling is an eye-opening experience for many people that’s viewed positively.

Physically, eustress is exemplified by challenging your body (e.g., lifting weights) to encourage growth (in this case, strength, stamina, and muscle growth).

In the gym or out on a walking path, you might be jamming out to your tunes and totally zoned into your workout. You may not even realize how exhausting the work has become because you’re caught up in the moment.

STRESS AND SOCIETY/NATION

Researchers define social stress and social stressors in various ways. Wadman, Durkin, and Conti-Ramsden (2011) defined social stress as "the feelings of discomfort or anxiety that individuals may experience in social situations, and the associated tendency to avoid potentially stressful social situations"

There are two major variants, 

1.  Stress caused by society 
2. Stress caused by a mass psychology to the society. 

Both can generate impacts to a society; 

1. Productivity & economy 
2. Education & future generation
3. Youth & Life style 
4. Youth & Employment 
5. Social insecurities (Due to unemployment / women related) 

STRESS & IMPACTS ON SOCIETY /NATION

1. National security threat (terrorism / violence )
2. Revolutionary movements. 
3. Effects & defects productivity
4. Impacts in population
5. Indirect effects (Health & genetical disorders)
6. Suicide & assassinations
