Respected
Faculty/Scholar/Professor,
Milestone
Education Review (The Journal of Ideas on
Educational & Social Transformation) is an online peer-reviewed bi-annual
journal of Milestone Education Society (Regd.) Pehowa (Kurukshetra). For us
education refers to any act or experience that has a formative effect on the
mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. The role of education
must be as an instrument of social change and social transformation. Social
transformation refers to large scale of social change as in cultural reforms
and transformations. The first occurs with the individual, the second with the
social system. This journal offers an opportunity to all academicians including
educationist, social-scientists, philosophers and social activities to share
their views. Each issue contains about 100 pages. This is a special call for
papers for Milestone Education Review,
Year 04, No. 02 (October, 2013) issue.
Theme:
Stress and Mental Health
Talking about stress has become part of normal everyday
conversation. We might talk about being stressed by our partners, our children,
our financial worries and, of course, our jobs. Most of us recognise the
symptoms of stress as feeling anxious, worrying more than usual, not being able
to concentrate, and not sleeping well. But we don't always take our feelings of
stress that seriously, assuming either that its part and parcel of life or that
it will pass. So understanding of stress is important for us in order to deal
with it effectively .Stress is a normal
physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance
in some way. When you sense danger – whether it’s real or imagined – the body's
defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the
“fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response. The
stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it
helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress
can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, and achieve
success in any domain. So stress response also helps you rise to meet
challenges. Stress is good when it is in appropriate proportion but stress
beyond certain level may lead to various psychological,
physical and cognitive problems such as body aches and pain, constipation,
chest pains, rapid heartbeat, loss of sex drive, frequent cold, headaches,
memory problems, inability to concentrate, anxiety, constant worrying,
depression, general unhappiness, moodiness etc. which may further hamper one’s
personal, social and occupational life or overall well-being of an individual
Therefore
effective stress management is the key towards success and overall well-being.

·
