Let’s talk about stress
![Page 4: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
When I was 13, I was
chased by a goose
![Page 5: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Don’t laugh! I was scared!

I ran – extremely fast – and jumped a MASSIVE gate

How did I run and jump so well?
• Stress!• Brain instantly floods body with 2 chemicals:– Adrenalin – and cortisol
![Page 8: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What do adrenalin and cortisol do?
• Heart beats faster and we breathe faster
![Page 9: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What do adrenalin and cortisol do?
• Heart beats faster and we breathe faster– More blood rushes to brain and muscles– Blood carries oxygen and glucose (energy) to
where it’s needed

What do adrenalin and cortisol do?
• Heart beats faster and we breathe faster– More blood rushes to brain and muscles– Blood carries oxygen and glucose (energy) to
where it’s needed– So brain and muscles work REALLY well

The result?
• => SUPER-PERFORMANCE!
• That’s the point of stress: to make your body and brain perform brilliantly under pressure
• We feel nervous before an important event because of the stress chemicals

So, stress is good
• It doesn’t feel nice but it’s there to make us perform well
![Page 13: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Two questions for you:
1. Can you think of things that can make us nervous before they happen?
![Page 14: STRESS WELL FOR SCHOOLS: 1.2 what is stress](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587dbc431a28ab1b498b4fb3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The second question:
2. What do you feel like when you’re nervous?
Think of things that happen in your body. Does your behaviour or mood change?
