Emotional Dimension
Stress can lead to short temper and can result in words that aren’t intended to be said. Stress involves irrational decisions and often doesn’t convey the right message when talking to peers or family. If I had a lot of projects due all in the same week I would be pretty flustered. My emotional state would not be at the normal levels because my brain doesn’t perceive what is happening externally properly. For example if I’m working on a project for school and my friend is talking to me about a certain topic or anything, my answers are going to be limited and short because I’m not engaged on that issue at the moment rather on the work. The more the topic is discussed and the less the stressor example (which would be work) is getting done, the more agitated I’m going to become, thus getting more aggressive with my answers and tone. The reason stress has a bad impact on your emotional dimension is because once it’s in your mental processes; it would also result in verbal misconduct. By removing stress from typical emotions that are portrayed throughout the day, it clears my mind as previously mentioned in the above section, therefore allowing me to focus more on the topic at hand. If I’m relaxed and calm about school work etc., then whatever happens outside that focus will make me less agitated, and more willing to give solid foundations to my answers. |
