Starting with the definition :
Stress can be defined as the sum of physical and mental responses caused by certain external stimuli which enable a person to overcome certain requirements of the environment and the physical and mental strain caused by this process .
In practice , we identify two types of stress :
1. Time -related stress (pressure to finish tasks within a given time period )
2 . Pressure-related stress (to accomplish one or more tasks successfully.)
In most cases, the stress is a combination of the two types .
There are several reasons for stress be more common today than a few years ago :1. The technology allows today we are connected and online 24/7
2 . The competition requires that most companies have to be ever faster with increasingly diminished resources .
3 . The leaders of the companies realized that employees are more productive when subjected to an appropriate level of stress .
There are many ways to reduce the levels of stress like:
• Avoid unnecessary stress
• Change the situations that lead to excessive stress
• Adapting to the cause of stress
• Accept the things you can not change
• Adopt a healthy lifestyle
• Make time to relax and have fun
In this case we will focus on the last point and make several suggestions to reduce the level of stress easily and without cost.
