Types of stress -
There are two types of stress Eustress and Distress.
All stress is not negative. The word Eustress has been coined to describe positive stress. Eustress results from exhilarating experiences such as winning and achieving.
Distress is negative stress.
Under stress certain hormones are secreted which charge the body on full alert for a fight or flight response. Its why we often feel tense and highly strung when under a lot of stress. Stress weakens immune system and makes us vulnerable to infection.

The inappropriate use of time often creates new stressors. Learning to say “no” has been successful for many people. There is an inordinate amount of stress that comes with saying yes and then they bring worry.

“FOR EVERY MEETING THERE IS A SEASON”
Spring is a good time for meetings that encourage team building because there is a lot of enthusiasm at the beginning of the year. Cold dark northern winters spawn lightlessness and depression. These conditions reverse themselves in spring. Researchers say a trip even one as short as 4 days to warmer weather can give sufferers a much needed lift.
If you must have a meeting in the winter, a southern site can boost not only attendees morale but their effectiveness as well.
Seasonal affective syndrome (SAD)is caused during winters which causes laziness and restlessness. It can be cured by spending long hours in natural light. It can also be cured to some extent by sitting under a bright lamp. The closer the light is in color and temperature to natural sunlight, the better.
Keeping above things in mind, try to organize a meeting where people find it near to their destination.
“You don’t get anything unless you ask for it”.
To avoid stress work smarter not harder. Delegate or eliminate bureaucratic task that are time consuming but not that crucial. Concentrate instead on activities that the company values and that make use of your greatest strengths. Focus on what is most important to you.
Unemployed idle person suffers from stress as much as those who are overworked.
