back your life as how you have met the situations, be it demanding or
easy. In the process of your memory recall, you may not miss the feeling

You cannot live a life devoid of any stress. In today's modern life, stress

Whenever

recognises the job involved and prepares you to meet the demand by secreting
the hormones that will rev up your overall capabilities to do the job.
Actually, the hormone that is secreted by your pituitary gland will trigger
a chain of reactions and enable your body to secrete other related hormones.
These hormones increase the heart rate, which in turn pumps the blood
with increased rate there by vitalising all your organs with more blood
and energy.
A certain
level of hormones is necessary for you to function in a demanding situation.
The level of hormones secreted is directly proportional to the feel or
your perception to the situation. The more you feel stressed about a job
or situation, the more will be the secretion of hormones. These hormones
when remain in your body for a long time can do the harm and are capable
of affecting your health in various methods.

stressful situations itself. So, if you can learn the act of tactful perception
about a stressful situation, you can effectively control the level of
hormone secretion in your body, which in turn makes you to perform more
without any harmful effects of stress.
Any situation
is perceived as a stressful one or not at your mind level. If you can

to perform well. For example, a little stress during your examination
can make you more concentrated in your studies and enable you to assimilate
many things in a shorter time.
Some stress
is necessary to drive you and the level of stress becomes negative only
when you are not capable of handling it. You may come across situations
where in different people might have performed differently in the same
stressful situations. This is because of the perception of the individual
about the situation. If you can take the stress involved as a positive
one, you will be in a position to put your best efforts and give a fantastic
result.
