The words ‘stress’ ‘pressure’ and ‘overworked’ are increasingly becoming a part of many people’s conversation in our society. Even worse there are people in the world who take pride in the fact they feel this way and use it as a topic of conversation. Others unfortunately, are just suffering under great pressure and are unsure what to do with the increasing tension in their lives. If someone is suffering from great strain in life it is not always easy to see a way out. This creates a huge amount of pressure and powerful negative emotions which get worse, making even simple decisions become difficult.
One reaction that many people can experience is that of feeling totally alone or even guilty about these feelings that have appeared. These feelings could appear when faced with a difficult situation in life, such as moving house, changing a career, or family challenges.
These are a just a few examples, in reality it is any situation that the person sees as stressful that will trigger these emotions.
These feelings of ‘stress’ or being under pressure are a natural part of the human makeup. Every physically healthy human being on earth has been designed to feel them and for a very good reason.
It is important to know that Everybody feels some anxiety and stress when facing a situation that they are unsure about.
Moving On - People will experience stress or anxiety in different levels according to their temperament, previous learning or attitude. These feelings are perfectly natural and the person should not be ashamed of them. Feeling weak or wanting to cry is to some males a huge sign of weakness and the feeling of wanting to shout to fight back in an argument to some females may be seen as ‘unfeminine’ and be held in, with the result of the victim being hurt even more.
If a person is to fully understand themselves, it is advisable that they first become aware of how they work with regards to emotions and feelings. When the body or mind produces emotions, there will always be a logical reason as to why, but society has taught us that we should learn to control ourselves, hence we have a challenge.
When a person experiences a situation which causes stimulation, the body will react by releasing various chemicals to allow the person to experience emotion. This emotion could be, wanting to shout or say something. This can be classed as the ‘true self’ instinct – what they really want to do. The person experiences the situation which causes the emotion, but then as the emotion is released and the urge to shout or say something becomes a desire, the person can then get an overwhelming urge to hold back because they are more concerned with what others may think, or it may hurt the other’s feelings etc.. This feeling of holding back when a person wants to express themselves is called the ‘social self’. The social self has been created to allow us to fit in more effectively. It is a conditioning programme.
