Stress affects us in a variety of ways. This stress response manifests in different physical and emotional symptoms that lead to a change in behavior, emotional experience, and ways of thinking.
When your body encounters stress, it goes through three stages to combat it. First is the ‘Alarming stage’ or the more commonly known flight or fight response. If the stress is constant, the body goes to the ‘Resistance’ stage, where our body increases its capacity to handle more stress.
