Vocab: Tame the Stress Monster
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1. Stress causes our bodies to go into fight-or-flight mode, a  physiological

response from our caveman days that's meant to protect us from harm.

2. When encountering a stressor, your  nervous system kicks into high gear, causing  you to experience a racing heart and a burst of energy that helps you get things done.

3. While stress is your body's way of pumping you up for challenges,  relentless stress can be harmful to your health .

4. Studies found that kids who had their best friend around when they had negative  experiences had lower levels of  cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress.

5. When you're stressed, exercising is a great idea because it releases  endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals in the brain.

6. You can end the  vicious cycle of stress by using visualization techniques

visualize a happy place, like the beach!

Explanation: I know a lot about stress.
