Stress is a natural response to the demands and challenges of life, rooted in our biology. When faced with perceived threats, the body activates the fight-or-flight response, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This physiological reaction prepares us to confront danger but can become problematic when activated too frequently or for prolonged periods. Understanding this biological mechanism is crucial for adults navigating the complexities of modern work and life. By recognizing the signs of stress, individuals can take proactive steps to manage their responses effectively.
