Like they say, everything happens for a reason, including stress. It needs to be experienced for us to learn something out of it. When we are facing difficult situations, we become more adept in resolving issues that other people are not capable of doing. It pushes us to our limits and causes us to respond either proactively or passively. Therefore, it is how we respond to a certain situation that makes a good difference.

Stress and other forms of excessive pressures in school or in the workplaces will definitely make a change in our lives. It is our decision if we make it a good or bad change. You have to understand though that these are necessary for us to grow personally and professionally. However, when can you tell that the stress and pressure that you are undergoing is already destructive? You can say that stress and challenges are unhealthy if it is already causing you too much fatigue, depression, illnesses and other negative signs that destruct your wellbeing. Your first step in dealing with unhealthy stress is to recognize what it is that causes you anxiety and strain. Once it is known to you, you can focus on how to eliminate it. Next is, decide what is necessary and what specific actions you should take to control the situation and eventually stay out of it.
