i. The Alarm Stage: This is a warning stage, this
stage clearly signals the presence of stress agents in the body, and in turn
there are physical reactions which tend to be the first to appear. These
reactions warns the individual that he has to be on guard as there are stress
agents present in the body, and once the individual is aware of these, he or
she can take measures to face the problem and solve them. When this is done the
effects or aftermath of stress is reduced or not materialized at all. Stress
may be from one or multiple sources combined together.
ii. The Resistance Stage: When stress is not curtailed
during the alarming stage, it goes further to enter into the resistance stage.
In this stage the individual will start to notice some signs that will slow
his/her action down. The individual might suddenly realize that he is losing
lot of energy and conduction level of the body becomes lower than usual. At
this stage something needs to be done in order for him/her to survive, and
he/she does not know that he/she is in a vicious circle, then tries to complete
the task ahead but finds out that it is practically impossible and this calls
for major concern to him/her as failure is not an option given the task in
hand.
iii.The Exhaustion Stage: This stage is the final
stage and is characterized by fatigue, accompanied by nervousness,
irritability, tension and anger. The individual becomes anxious and not only
when he/she is faced by stress factors but also in moments which would not
normally produce any anxiety. This further leads to depression and this means lacking
pressure in an activity or activities, the individual suffers from dizziness
and the thoughts of the individual are pessimistic and negative.
