Tell Me Why stress can be good for you

Tell Me Why podcast host Maria Botros speaks to Dr. Saliha Afridi, Clinical Psychologist and Managing Director of The Lighthouse Arabia, about the difference between stress and anxiety

• Anxiety is a mobilizing response to something that will occur in the future
• Research shows that 80% of our health issues are a result of stress
• Stress gets out of hand when the demands of your life over exceed your resources
• People should pay attention to the 'little' stress that occurs regularly, rather than the occasional 'big' stress
• Stress becomes dangerous when people resort to other habits like smoking, shopping or even eating
