Stress - A General Definition

I was quite interested in the definitions of stress. Before you can start handling the symptoms of something it’s best, I feel, that you have a clear cut definition of the affliction. The word ‘stress’ is bandied around so loosely these days that one could be led to believe that the wrong temperature of ones bath water would cause stress. So lets clear up the definition.

From The Heritage Illustrated Dictionary:

‘A mentally or emotionally disruptive or disquieting influence; distress.’

Now that is what stress is. Quite strong adjectives in there. So if we wanted to be effective about stress some preparatory work would be required. I always find that making lists help.
