Stress is the body's response to daily events that occur in one's life. Everyone experiences stress, but in many different ways. Stress can be positive, helpful and motivate women to achieve notable goals. But stress can also be negative and destructive, taking its toll on many lives. When stress becomes chronic or excessive, it becomes harder to adjust and cope. Chronic stress builds up so that stress seems like a normal way of life for some women. Oftentimes women are so busy that they do not take time to slow down long enough to think about how stress is negatively affecting them. Women in India have come a long way after independence. From just a skilled homemaker, women today have acquired skills and capabilities of not just being a homemaker but being at par with their male counterparts. This is the new generation of women, who wants to pursue their dream career. But this life is not a milk and honey situation.
