Visiting your dentist may sound like a good health habit but it can cause stress, according to stress researchers Drs. Mario Orlandi, Donald Prue, and Annette Spence in the “Encyclopedia of Good Health: Stress and Mental Health.”
Other stressful situations are kissing someone for the first time, giving a speech, and waiting for an important phone call. Depending on how you react, these situations can make or break you.
While stress is part of human life, too much can lead to physical and mental problems. Stress can also make you look old and ugly, and give you plenty of wrinkles. Researchers said this comes from the “stressors” around us. The stressors can either be major as in the loss of a loved one or minor such as anxiously waiting for a phone call. Our reaction or overreaction to these things is what causes stress.
For instance, a man may become nervous and excited while waiting for his long-due promotion. In this case, the stressor is the promotion while his nervousness and excitement are causing stress.
Since life is full of challenges, the researchers said stress can come from various incidents such as driving a car, getting sick, failing a test, staying up late at night, going to work or losing a pet.
Other situations which you probably don’t consider stressful but are actually contributing to stress are opening birthday gifts, getting good grades, missing the bus, graduating from school, winning first place, riding a roller coaster, and choosing a very special gift. All of these episodes contribute to your overall stress level.
“Still we can’t - and don’t completely want to - avoid stressors. Try to imagine life without some stress. You wouldn’t have any challenges, anything to affect your emotions or anything new or exciting. A life without stressors would mean everything is the same, all the time – and that is boring,” researchers said.
