      INTRODUCTION

      The term stress has now become part of our common language and many people use this word as a synonym for psychological distress or anxiety .. Stress, in fact, is a reaction to a stressful situation in which the demands of modern life and the environment exceed the adaptive capacity and resources of a person. The English word stress was born, away from psychology, in metallurgy, and indicates the ability of a metal in response to sources of wear with particular reference to that state of extreme tension which is subject to failure. Briefly, the stress can be understood as an overload of stimuli: those who are stressed out to disentangle between the different tasks require different skills and often in conflict with each other, but also engaging at most cannot do everything. This phenomenon is not only managers or persons who hold high professional positions: for even ordinary people with ordinary lives. For many people, however, stress has become a chronic condition that can undermine the psychological well-being, sexual and physical health. In other words, stress is experienced, increasingly, as an inevitable part of everyday life are undervalued and its deleterious effects on the psyche and body. Fortunately, you can do much to reduce stress to acceptable levels with great benefit to our wellbeing.

      However, before examining strategies to reduce stress, we must examine the phenomenon of its various aspects. Stress, in fact, is a complex and articulated. The same style of life prevailing in Western society, focused on efficiency, speed of information exchange and performance, rather than on the quality of relationships and living conditions, and diffuses the existential models imposes itself stressful. Then there are events that happen and which are beyond our ability and desire for control. If stress is addressed early and properly, you can avoid its consequences, especially on our health. And 'now known medical fact that the vast majority of illnesses (some more than 90%) is a direct effect of stress, or are aggravated by it. If stress is not addressed properly can contribute dramatically to the development of numerous diseases. Often we forget the subtle effects of stress, especially if prolonged, the body and mind, that the pathogenetic mechanisms of disease. On the other hand, stress was defined as a physical and psychological response to requests and / or pressures from inside or outside (environment) of the individual. This response is able to activate the physical resources of the individual emotional and is what determines an increase of certain hormones in the body (such as cortisol). If these activations are frequent, or extreme or prolonged, we faint and harm us, producing signals of distress. In general we can say that stress is a healthy reaction of our organism and indicates that we are facing an emergency situation, but if prolonged can give rise to different problems than even the physical and psychological. Under conditions of primitive life a certain amount of stress permitted a man to address optimally dangerous situations, for example a wild animal, with the maximum strength, concentration and alertness. This ability to react quickly to danger ensured the survival of the individual. Nowadays it is more difficult to meet these physical hazards and stressful situations more common are actually psychological. The problem is that, both in front of a real physical danger that an imagined danger and / or feared, mind and body react in the same way, ie put in place a number of physiological mechanisms to ensure an effective adaptive response . From the psychological point of view we speak of stress at the time when the environmental demands and not, exceed our resources perceived. At that point, the stress becomes a state of excitement and tension caused by a continuous and unpleasant task or request that we do not know if we are actually able to answer.

      PHENOMENON STRESS

      Psychology explains what people do through a series of reactions in response to a series of stimuli, according to an associative relationship of cause - effect. Therefore, the behavior varies in relation to stimuli which people, to survive, are forced to respond according to their biological endowment, their repertoire of intra-and interpersonal skills and their experience. If we consider the behavior of a person as the response to stimuli - usually offered by the environment in which the person lives - stress can be defined as the complex defense response to nonspecific stimuli (which are very different), considered to be hazardous. Therefore, the stress depends both on the interpretation of the person on the nature of the stimuli received, both on the skill with which these stimuli are discussed, albeit from personal experience and the biological endowment staff. From this we can see that stress is not, as commonly thought, passively in certain situations, mostly random, but in a personal reaction to specific events negatively evaluated and considered dangerous. This human reaction,
