Most people feel stress(压力)sometimes in their lives.Some people like this pressure and work better because of it.Other people are not comfortable with any stress at all; they soon become unhappy if they feel stress.Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldn’t usually do, such as overeating, smoking, drinking, or using drugs.Stress, however, is a very normal part of life. It is important to understand that stress comes from the things that are happening in our lives.It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened.For example, a crying baby may be stressful to one person, but it may not bother another person at all; a traffic jam may be stressful to one person while another may be able to stay calm. We can experience stress any time we feel we don’t have control.It can come from a feeling that we can’t do anything about a situation.Basically, it is the body’s way of showing anxiety or worry. Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition.It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise, and whether we can relax. The point at which stress becomes a problem changes from day to day, even for the same person.In some situation, if we are rested and feel good about ourselves, a little stress will not be a problem.In another situation, if we are tired or feel unsure about our abilities, even a small amount of stress can cause problems.For example, we might begin to worry bout things that haven’t happened yet instead of working on things that are happening now.Or we might not feel able to find solutions to everyday problems. If we feel stress, there are several things that we can do.First ,we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly.This is not difficult to do.It is the first step toward becoming calm and starting to think clearly. We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule(日程表)to notice the small things in life.Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree-these activities can do much to quiet us and give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule.
