Stress is something that comes from overacting or over reacting task in life be from work or on the body. For example a college student is studying for a test, or doing a paper right before it’s due. And they are stressing over the fact they will fail or won’t do as good as what they could have done if they had done the subject when other college students were doing it and picked there time wisely. Another example for the body is you are in a car crash and your body goes into protective mode ready for what’s going to happen, but at the last second the car misses you but still crashes into a poll or tree. As the book says: “stressors are any physical or psychological event or condition that produces physical and emotional reactions.”(Fahey 304)
