Day One: AIM HIGH
We worry about stress, wonder about stress, and wish it would go away. Seldom do we stop to ask what it is. Little wonder. For stress is a complicated thing even to define. The word `stress' comes from the language of engineering meaning `any force which causes an object to change'. In engineering the specific change caused by stress is known as `strain' and there are four possible kinds - `torsion', `tensile', `compression' and `sheering'. In human terms the strain is your body's response to physical, chemical, emotional or spiritual forces, asking in some way that you adapt to them. The idea that stress is all bad is patent nonsense. Stress can be the spice of life, the exhilaration of challenge and excitement, the high of living with heavy demands on you. And like the tempering process involved in the production of a piece of good steel, once you make a friend of stress, forces which once seemed to be working against you become positive energies that define you, strengthen you and help you express your own brand of creativity and joy. As Austrian-Canadian scientist, the late Hans Selye, often called the father of stress since he first coined the word in relation to humans back in the 1930's, used to say, "Whatever does not destroy you only makes you stronger."
