Integrating Objective and Subjective Data for Stress Monitoring

What do you think is Stress? It’s not like a disease that you can catch from somewhere. For a 25 year old, stress can be biting nails thinking too much whether he will meet his performance goal. For an 18 year old it can be eating without getting hungry thinking whether his date is going to say yes to the prom or not. Stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or challenges, often referred to as the "fight or flight" reaction. It triggers physiological, emotional, and psychological changes that prepare individuals to respond accordingly.

I believe integrating objective and subjective data offers a more holistic approach to understanding someone’s stress levels. Objective data, like heart rate variability and cortisol levels, provides measurable indicators of one’s physiological state, while subjective data reflects personal feelings and experiences related to stress. By combining these two types of information, I can gain a more comprehensive view of overall well-being, enabling me to develop more tailored and effective strategies for managing stress and maintaining health.
