PASSAGE 4
STRESS
Stress is with us all the time. It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is
unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may be relaxing to one person may be
stressful to another. For example, if you are a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time,
“taking it easy” at the beach on a beautiful day may feel extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and
upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from “doing nothing”. Too much emotional stress can cause
physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease. Physical stress from work or
exercise is not likely to cause such ailments. The truth is that physical exercise can help you to relax and
to better handle your mental or emotional stress.
