INTRODUCTION
Stress can have a big impact on your body, in ways that are
felt by just you, and in way that the world can see. One of the
more visible potential by-products of stress is weight gain--
many people find themselves to be "emotional eaters" who
react to stress by reaching for something often the wrong
thing-to eat. Stress can also create a loss of appetite, which
can be a problem as well.
 WHAT IS STRESS?
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from
any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or
nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In
short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid
danger or meet a deadline.

Case Study: Positive Stress

Stress is of two kinds, positive and negative; as it has been stated above it
is up to the individual how he perceives stress, whether he looks upon
stress as negative or positive.

This is the case study of a university professor, who is under extensive

pressure of work but she always looks upon stress as positive. Dr. Priya Bir,
a middle aged person is a professor in the Psychology department of Delhi
University, besides teaching at the university she also conducts counseling
sessions at home for individuals who face some or the other kinds of
psychological problems such as anger, panic attack, stress and depression .
Dr. Bir often writes and gets her papers published, she attends conferences,
national as well as international, she even travels abroad to make paper
presentations; creates lesson plans, tests and does lot of research study. All
these work duties make her even stay up in the night till 1 or 2 am; which shows
that she does not even get much sleep. In addition to this she also has a family
to look after, her husband and her children. It is obvious that extensive work
duties do make a person feel stressed out, sometimes Dr. Bir even has to take
lectures continuously without breaks; she incessantly speaks for five long hours,
this does make her feel stressed but she has always looked upon stress to be a
positive and an integral part of ones life. She states that stress does occur but
one should not think too much about it, one should get pleasure from ones
work duties and have benefit of them.
Becoming aware about Dr. Bir, how she manages her work duties, even
if she does not get her full time sleep she does not complain or feel
tired, how she works hard and renders her best performance in all her
work duties has greatly inspired the researcher. Finally, it can be stated
and understood from this case that one should not feel stressed out
from ones work duties and job performances and always work hard to
do ones most excellent. Doing ones job well will always make a person
feel happy and pleased. He will not only make good money out of his
job but also earn a good reputation and goodwill within the
community.
