Abstract

Daily life presents hundreds of situations that cause stress. Stress, in small amounts, is good for the individual, but an excess of it could lead to negative consequences both physically and mentally. For this reason, it is necessary to control stress, something that requires knowing what it is, its types, phases, and the tools that can be used to fight against it. Knowing these aspects will enable us to be more aware of the condition and to have more resources to prevent its occurrence.
