From the Paper:

"Most people when hearing the word "stress" only think of negative things, such as sweaty palms, the heart beating too fast, stomach aches and head pains. However, stress can go hand-in-hand with positive and happy occasions as well. According to Burns, to your body, stress is synonymous with change. Anything that causes a change in your life causes stress. It doesn't matter if it is a "good" change, or a "bad" change, they are both a type of stress. When you find your dream apartment and get ready to move, that is stress. If you break your leg, that is stress. Good or bad, if it is a change in your life, it is stress as far as your body is concerned. "
