Psychological and Physiological Impact of Stress On Hubert's Mental Health and

Wellbeing

Introduction

This essay will draw a line between feelings and emotions. Both Hubert’s positive and

negative emotional responses will be discussed. In addition, this essay will discuss and

evaluate different methods for helping Hubert to deal with his overwhelming emotions. The

report will also look into different aid programmes to determine whether t may help Hubert.

As a result, the essay will act as a synopsis of the whole thing.

Emotions, which typically persist for around 6 seconds, are the result of biochemical

changes generated by neuronal activity in a particular part of the human brain. There are also

physical challenges in addition to psychological ones. Regardless of how a person tries to

suppress them, they cannot help but feel how they feel at any particular moment.

Nonetheless, people tend to look for more profound significance in the feelings that are

created by physical exercise and interpreted mentally. Emotional maturity is a learned skill

that differs for each person based on their unique life experiences (McGinley, et al., 2021).

Attraction is one such feeling that has the potential to blossom into love. Hubert’s anger

management issues manifest themselves in his impatience with his children and patrons. As a

result of Hubert’s wife’s disease’s impact on the brain and spinal cord, it can cause a wide

range of symptoms, including blindness, weakness, a lack of sensation, and unsteadiness. An

autoimmune ailment guarantees that this condition will always be present.

Sometimes the symptoms develop abruptly and unexpectedly, while other times they

are prompted by anything like a protracted illness or stressful situation. Hubert is constantly

going through a stressful situation, as evidenced by the ease with which his wife’s symptoms

can be triggered. Positive thinking is usually second nature to him, but between his busy

schedule and his worries concerning his wife, he is having a hard time maintaining it. It is

possible that Hubert’s short temper and irritability with his family and clients stem from his

role as breadwinner. There is a chance that this is affecting how he feels about himself and

how others view him (Stein and Levine., 2021). Hubert has three options to take

responsibility for his mental well-being and be optimistic.

With mindfulness, one can gain a more in-depth knowledge of one’s routines cn aid

one in learning to master one’s thoughts rather than having them master one. Thus, Hubert

would be able to maintain his dignity at work. The ability to focus, think more rationally, and

be less pessimistic are other benefits. Because of this, Hubert can focus on his children’s

education, his mental health, and the success of his company. Ne disadvantage of

mindfulness is that it might give some people the ability to repress negative thoughts, which

can contribute to a false feeling of superiority as well as a separation from reality (Singh.,

2019). Lastly, this strategy reduces costs and expedites processes. Given that Hubert may

implement it while doing school-related errands for the kids.

A second strategy that could be employed is to engage in physical activity. Exercising

releases endorphins, also known as “happy hormones.” Some of the benefits include

improving one’s sense of self, self-confidence and happiness, and alleviating emotions of

depression, stress, and worry. Hubert’s outlook on life and his stress resilience would both

improve with more physical activity on his part. Injuries sustained through physical activity

are a potential negative that can necessitate a break from work as well as other commitments.

Another drawback is the time commitment involved; those who have a busy schedule due to

work or other commitments may not be able to exercise regularly. However, Hubert could

save both time and money by working out in the convenience of his own home (Reid, et al.,

2021). Because of his positive attitude at work would improve his relationships with

customers, and his children might look up to him.

To change his damaging thought and behaviour patterns, Hubert could see a cognitive

behavioural therapist or enlist a support group. CBT is useful because it helps people relax.

Enhancing one's capacity to maintain composure under pressure. This can help in

understanding the background of challenging behaviours and planning future interventions.

To reap the full benefits of CBT, Hubert will need to invest a significant amount of time and

energy in regular session attendance and the completion of homework assignments in the

period between sessions. One more limitation is that it calls for an honest discussion of

emotions. This has the potential to increase levels of tension and anxiety (McGinley, et al.,

2021). Because Hubert was not yet capable of dealing with the depth of his emotions, this

strategy was premature. Because the benefits outweigh the risks, Hubert can benefit from

including mindful meditation and exercise in his daily schedule. He'll come out on the other

side of this much stronger than before. On the other hand, CBT might not be suggested for

Hubert due to more potential negative effects on his psyche than positive ones. Further,

research has linked stress of any kind to a decline in health (Maugeri, et al., 2020).

Hubert is one of those people who crack under pressure, but there are plenty of others

who thrive in it. It would appear that not everyone experiences the same levels of stress in

response to the same environmental factors. Hubert may find communicating with customers

challenging due to the elevated standards associated with his employment, but an experienced

worker would certainly find it easier. If Hubert's stress continues for too long, he may

experience physical and mental health consequences, such as a spike in blood pressure,

fatigue, insomnia, a sensation of being overwhelmed, and a lack of emotional control (Singh.,

2019). Finally, spending time with his family is a great approach to relieve stress, which is

something Hubert could consider doing. This approach to relieving stress is preferable

because it is less harmful than others. By learning to manage his stress, Hubert can live

longer and stay away from harmful coping mechanisms. His friends and family can

encourage him to make positive lifestyle changes, such as eating more healthfully and finding

ways to reduce stress. Eventually, Hubert will feel better, and any feelings of worry or

hopelessness will disappear (Stein and Levine., 2021). Hubert may use the NHS website to

contact the organisation directly, as well as discover local mental health support

organisations.

Conclusion

Mental health support groups are available for people of all ages, from young

children to the elderly, and adults like Hubert are welcome to join any of them. Hubert's

support group would be there for him if he needed advice on how to handle stress. Hubert

may also help others feel more at ease seeking treatment by writing on the mind.org.uk

website, which is dedicated to spreading awareness about mental health. People with mental

health problems are counselled during these gatherings, so Hubert may attend without feeling

strange. There are resources for coping with daily stress, blogs on individual experiences with

mental illness, and online communities where he can find and offer help to others in similar

situations. Therefore, by incorporating mindfulness training as well as regular exercising into

his daily routine, Hubert may easily avoid both positive and unpleasant emotions. This will

give him the self-assurance he needs to tackle new challenges and set reasonable goals for

success. The mind.org.uk community, his friends and family, and the National Health Service

are all resources Hubert can turn to if his poor mood persists despite his efforts.
