Stress is organism‘s defense mechanism to enable it to survive.
Without Stress ,organisms will not be to bring out the best in them, react appropriately.
Inappropriate reaction may lead to the extinction of Life.
When one fights for air,water and other basic needs the urgency is felt and the organism reacts and it is basically instinctive.

Stress has both a psychological and physiological effect. Psychologically it affects our emotions causing such things as anger, frustration, fear, burnout, anxiety and depression. Physiologically, stress increases the risk of everything from warts to cancer.
People tend to mistake Stress for Anxiety, which is detrimental to health.
Anxiety is a conscious deliberation of the events, course of action one is about to perform or has already performed.
Stress is that which drives to take a course of action which you can not avoid.
Origins of Stress.
Man is driven by instincts.
Instincts become Feelings and feelings turn into Emotions.
Emotions fortified withWill become actions and repeated Actions become a Habit.
There are
Instincts of Survival,
Thirst,
Hunger,
Sex and
These are indicated above in the order of priority to the Organism.
When there is a clash of Instincts(which happens at all times during Life) among themselves ,Conflict arises.
These Conflicts are resolved by the organism on the basis of priority to ensure its survival.
For instance, if there is a choice before a Man Water and Food when he is both Thirsty and Hungry, he will choose Water.
Similarly when there is clash between Hunger and Thirst ,Thirst will score.
While resolving these Conflicts, the organism is torn between the instincts and we feel the Stress.
Normally Stress is resolved biologically by the Organism.
But the Cognitive instrument we call the Mind starts analyzing and it causes anxiety.
We completely forget that in the battle between the Heart and Mind Heart always wins.
We presume that Mind does.
Therefore the essential problem does not concern Stress per se but our cognition of it.
Mind is the instrument.
One needs to train the Mind to manage Stress.
Eradicating Stress is not possible.
Stress will cease ony when we die.
But we can manage Stress by Simple Practices.
More on this subject follows.

Stress and anxiety become serious problems when triggered too frequently, for too long or by situations that do not pose a particular threat or challenge.
