How to React to Stress - 1

Two young boys were raised by an alcoholic father.

As they grew older, they moved away from that broken

home, each going his own way in the world. Several years

later, they happened to be interviewed separately by a

psychologist who was analyzing the effects of drunkenness

on children in broken homes.

His research revealed that the two men were strikingly

different from each other. One was a clean-living teetotaler;

the other, a hopeless drunk like his father. The psychologist

asked each of them why he developed the way he did, and

each gave an identical answer, “What else would you expect

when you have a father like mine?”

That story was revealed by Dr. Hans Selye, internationally

renowned Canadian physician and scientist known as the

father of stress. A medical pioneer, he devoted the majority

of his years to the exploration of biological stress. And he

related the story of the two sons of the drunken father in an

article for New Realities.

And the story demonstrates a cardinal rule implicit in

stress, health, and human behavior. According to

R.H.Schuller, “It is not what happens to you in life that

makes the difference. It is how you react to each

circumstance you encounter that determines the result.

Every human being in the same situation has the

possibilities of choosing how he will react - either

positively or negatively.”

Thus, stress is not necessarily caused by stressor agents;

rather, it is caused by the way stressor agents are perceived,

interpreted, or appraised in each individual case. Outside

events and people upset some more than others, because

they are looked upon and dealt with in entirely different

ways. The stressors may even be the same in each case, yet

the reaction will almost always be different in different

people.

Armed with that kind of information, it would seem that we

can greatly improve our reactions to stressful situations.

What seems to be a cruel world to one person might be

filled with challenge and opportunity to another. It is our

reaction that makes the difference.
