In our daily lives, we are all used to dealing with pressures, commitments and tasks that are required of us for our personal lives and for our family live as well as for society to be able to function. This takes time and effort but if balanced well with rest and relaxation all will go well. The pressure we are under in this case does not constitute unhealthy Stress.

Stress starts to occur when we feel that the pressure is overwhelming, and that to fit everything in, we have to sacrifice our rest or leisure time.

At the moment, we are all experiencing a stressful situation that is impacting the entire Globe, namely the COVID-19 virus which is affecting each and every country in the world and impacting the lives of each and every individual in the universe in different ways. If a member of the family has been infected that impacts in one way, if none have, still having to work from home and avoid contact with others, in a young family Mum and Dad are working from home and the kids are home from school and that huddles everyone up in a limited space which can cause pressures and restrictions and hence can cause Stress.
