Stress is the body’s normal response to a challenge, threat or excitement. Not all stress is bad. Without stress we would have little motivation and energy. Stress helps athletes break records. It also helps us meet deadlines, generate new ideas and keeps our mind alert by pumping adrenaline through
our body.
Negative symptoms of stress, for example muscle tension, upset stomach, sweating, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and irritability, develop only when we experience excess stress.
This information is designed to give you some ideas and suggestions on how to manage and cope with stress. The first section is on coping with exam stress and the second on workplace stress.
Please note these are guidelines. Thorpe Molloy would recommend any person to seek medical or other professional advice if they feel they are unable to deal with the stress they are experiencing.
