Different Types of Stress
Eustress Distress Optimal Stress
![Page 10: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Eustress
Eustress is positive, action-enhancing stress.
Example: Exercise is a positive stress because we view the stressor (exercise) a benefit to good health and well-being.
![Page 11: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Distress
Distress is to denote negative, debilitating, or harmful stress.
Example: Trying to do 10 things a once, while worrying about deadlines, being tired, forgetting to eat, etc.
![Page 12: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Optimal Stress
Optimal stress is a point between eustress and distress at which performance should be at its best.
Example: When you are stressed out about deadlines, yet you make time to exercise. (If you balance them you will become more motivated)
![Page 13: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
General Adaptation Syndrome
(GAS)A Model that helps illustrate the body’s response
to stress
3 Stages
Alarm Stage
Resistance Stage
Exhaustion Stage
![Page 14: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alarm Stage
Become aware of the stressor
The body is modified to defend against the stressor.
![Page 15: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Alarm Stage
Example: Diagnosis; Important Game; Unplanned pregnancy; Realized a deadline passed…
Your response might be…Increased heart rate, tense muscles, dry mouth, sweating, stomach may feel “queasy”.
![Page 16: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Resistance Stage
Preparation to fight the stressor
Arousal remains high, as the body and mind try to defend against and adapt to the stressor.
![Page 17: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resistance Stage
Example: Realization that you have to fight; play the game; plan B
Your response might be…Heart rate and respiration will stabilize, muscles begin to relax, sweating decreases, immune system continues to ward off illness.
![Page 18: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Exhaustion Stage
Negative consequences of stress appear.
Resources to defend against stressors are very limited; ability to resist may collapse.
![Page 19: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Exhaustion Stage
When your at the end of completion and you are so tired because of the constant worry. You may experience illness because your body is so wore down.
Your response might be… Symptoms of the alarm stage may reappear, bodily functions weaken, immune system will shut down causing illness, even can death occur.
![Page 20: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Do you wonder what will happen to you body after constant wear and tear?
(The Allostatic Load Theory)
![Page 22: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Allostatic Load Theory
Researchers have termed the long-term wear and tear of the stress response as Allostatic Load.
An individual’s allostatic load is dependent on many factors including: genetics, life experiences, and emotional and behavioral responses to stressors.
![Page 23: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
High Allostatic Load
A high allostatic load may be due to frequent stressors, poor adaption to common stressors , an inability to shut down the stress response, and imbalances in the stress response of different body systems.
![Page 24: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Allostatic Load
Researchers have linked high allostatic load with heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and reduced brain and immune system functioning.
In other words, when your allostatic load exceeds your ability to cope, you are more likely to get sick.
![Page 25: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Control Your Mind
Sometimes controlling your mind isn’t easy, you have to train yourself to be in control.
In events that you have no control over, it doesn’t do any good to get angry or be impatient. Example: Someone cuts you off in traffic.
REMEMBER, YOU HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN MIND!!!
![Page 37: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Training Your Mind to Be Patient Will...

Will keep you in a better mood throughout the day.
Will allow you to relax and get more out of life, due to the fact that you are not finding flaws in everyone else.

Exercise IS Important in Controlling Stress!
![Page 39: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Four Ways Exercise Controls Stress
1. Exercise can help you feel less anxious
Clinical studies have shown that after exercise there is decreased electrical activity of tensed muscles.
People have been less jittery and hyperactive after an exercise session.
![Page 40: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Stress Control and Exercise
2. Exercise can relax you. One exercise session generates 90
to 120 minutes of relaxation response (also called post-exercise euphoria or endorphin response).
Endorphins improve your mood and leave you relaxed.
![Page 41: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Stress Control and Exercise
3. Exercise can make you feel better about yourself. Think about those times that you
have been physically active. Haven’t you felt better about yourself?
That feeling of self-worth contributes to stress relief!
![Page 42: L(a)unch and Learn Seminar 2011](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55516e48b4c905723b8b4a6f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

4. Exercise can make you eat better
People who exercise regularly tend to eat more nutritious food.
Good nutrition helps your body manage stress better.
