STRESS
• Internal stress is when people make
themselves stressed on their own. This
often happens when we worry about
things we cannot control. It also covers
putting oneself in situations that we know
will cause us stress. Since the source of
stress lies somewhere in our personality
or in our way of thinking we call it
internal stress.

AL STRESS

response to things around a such as
noise, crowding and pressure from
work or family. Identifying these
environmental stresses and learning to
avoid them or manage or deal with
them will help lower our stress level.
