On today\\u2019s show we are talking about stress.

\\n

The dictionary defines stress as

\\n

\\u201ca state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.\\u201d

\\n

I personally find that definition to be rather useless. Using a related word, or a synonym to describe a word is not very helpful.

\\n

So I have developed my own practical definition which I think is more useful.

\\n

"Stress is that emotion we experience when there is a gap between expectation and reality."
