The thing we call ‘stress’ is actually a reaction to factors that make
us feel out of balance and the efforts we make to try to re-balance.
Homeostasis is a concept central to the idea of stress.
Most biochemical processes strive to maintain equilibrium,
a steady state that exists more as an ideal and less as an achievable
condition...

far from homeostasis can be experienced as stress... an organism’s effortful
attempt at restoring conditions back to or near homeostasis, often consuming
energy and natural resources, can also be interpreted as stress.
