Work, Money & Productivity

One of the biggest sources of stress in modern life isn’t always what we’re doing—it’s the feeling that there’s never enough time to do it all. The deadlines, responsibilities, and constant multitasking can leave us feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and perpetually behind.

The truth is, stress often comes less from the workload itself and more from how we organize, prioritize, and approach that workload. Effective time management can’t eliminate every stressor, but it can create structure, reduce overwhelm, and help you regain control over your day.

In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become almost unavoidable. Deadlines, family responsibilities, and financial pressures can leave us feeling overwhelmed. But one of the most effective tools for calming the mind and body doesn’t require any equipment—it’s your breath.

Why Deep Breathing Works
When we’re stressed, our body activates the “fight or flight” response, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Deep breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and promotes relaxation.

Answering this question without first giving you an understanding of the meaning of ‘STRESS’ will be putting the cart before the horse. Firstly, let us understand the meaning (if you like, the definition) of stress, the way professionals have defined it. This is the widely accepted definition.

What is Stress?

Stress is a physical or mental tension caused by intense activities or worries stretching over a period of time and causing psychological or mental discomfort or both to a person. World Health Organization (WHO) defines Stress as “a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation”. Further explaining this, WHO says it is “a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives”. There are many definitions of stress and they generally mean the same. These are adequate for appropriate knowledge of the subject matter.

Life is full of stress, and everyone has a fair share of it as we live through life. Life throws all sorts at us. How we manage or respond to them depend on individual knowledge and understanding of the situation and also the help available to us.

Now back to the topic; Is Stress good or bad? Stress can either be good or bad. This depends on the cause, type, and duration of stress.
