Sometimes we cannot avoid a stressful situation no matter how much we try, but we can make sure that our body is less prone to react to stress by doing the following:
There are good stressors and bad stressors. Good stressors are the ones that give us signals and make us jump when we have to like, like when you hear a gunshot and immediately get to the ground, or reflexively hit the brakes when someone runs in front of your car. So stressors are good basically, what is not good is when these stressors become a constant part of our lives, that can really drain a person emotionally and cause serious problems.
