Stress is a natural response to challenges or threats that you face in your life. It’s like our body’s built-in alarm system, gearing up to help us deal with tough situations. When we’re stressed, hormones kick in, causing our hearts to beat faster, our muscles to tense up, and our minds to race with thoughts. It’s our body’s way of getting ready to handle whatever comes our way.
