Causes of Stress - correct answer ✔✔-Your brain comes hard-wired with an alarm system
for your protection. Stress triggers this alarm system.
-When your brain perceives a threat, it signals your
body to release a burst of hormones to fuel your
capacity for a response. This has been labeled the
"fight-or-flight" response (response to something that appears to threaten our body/ well-being).
-Once the threat is gone, your body is meant to return
to a normal relaxed state. Unfortunately, the nonstop stress of modern life means that your alarm
system rarely shuts off.
-Stress management gives you a range of tools to reset
the trigger and turn off the alarm system.
