Short-term stress – your natural booster
Short-term stress is not only normal, but even useful:
- It sharpens your senses.
- It increases your performance.
- It mobilizes energy to overcome challenges.
Examples: an important meeting, a sports competition, an exam day.
After the situation, your body returns to a resting state – recovery begins.
Chronic stress – when the system tips
It becomes problematic when stress does not end:
- Cortisol remains high, even at rest.
- Sleep quality decreases.
- The immune system is weakened.
- Mood shifts to irritability, anxiety, or lack of motivation.
Chronic stress robs you of energy, health, and quality of life.
How to recognize chronic stress
- Persistent exhaustion, even after breaks.
- Frequent headaches, tension, stomach problems.
- Difficulty concentrating and memory lapses.
- Feeling like you are always “on edge”.
