Stress

Positive Stress is good for you and includes the ability to concentrate and focus to enable you to achieve goals with increased efficiency.
If you are unable to relax then this puts you under negative stress which is bad for you.
Stress increases adrenaline which may increase blood pressure and heart rate.
Decrease stress by identifying and avoiding causative factors. Attempt to minimise identified stresses in your everyday life. Learn to relax and adopt a positive attitude.
