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 36  down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a 37  part of everyday life and there is no way to 38  it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39  to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can bear 40  very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41  are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42  of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43  and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44  between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45  long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47  links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.

So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?
