Stress is a term that gets utilized so much in the mainstream media. Many know the term, but not what stress actually entails. Stress can mean a lot of different things dependent on how you perceive it. This lecture will discuss how stress affects our day to day living, what are the physiological components of stress and how we can use it to improve ourselves. We aren't getting rid of stress (we can't and we shouldn't try) but we can definitely learn to operate with it!
