Stress and Relaxation(壓力與松弛)

     Stress and Relaxation

      As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But

relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

      Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and iii

health.

      The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between "flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

    壓力是日常生活的一個自然組成部分，無法逃避。事實上，壓力并不像人們通常想象的那樣是件壞事。一定的壓力對于激發(fā)動力、賦予人生以目標(biāo)是至關(guān)重要的。只有

在壓力過大時才會導(dǎo)致表現(xiàn)失常，健康惡化。

    一個人承受壓力的大小在很大程度上要看個體之間的差異。有些人不怕壓力，這種人是承擔(dān)管理性責(zé)任的上好人選。而另一些人一碰到非同
