To answer the question, first you need to understand what exactly is stress.
Stress is the reaction to an external stimuli or thought. So only those with sufficient reasoning and intellectual power are bound to get stressed. This is not to say that animals and other beings do not get stressed. They do get stressed but not as much as human beings. For example, when there is no food for a day, animals may not get stressed. But during a fight or danger to their life, they will get stressed.
Whereas human beings will get stressed even for trivial things.
Meditation is one of the best ways to manage stress. What it basically teaches one is to rise above our reasoning and to be a witness. when you just be a witness, without getting attached to the situations, you cannot get stressed.

STRESS is FACT of life but being STRESSED is not.
STRESS is state of MIND.
What is the need to manage STRESS : actually, stress is not the part of life. It is not our life style, not our work, not our family, not our Boss, not the situations in which v exist, which cause Stress to us. IT IS OUR INABILITY TO MANAGE OUR SYSTEM, OUR WORK, OUR BODY, MIND & EMOTIONS, OUR ENERGY AND ABOVE ALL OUR RESPONSES / REACTIONS TO "HAPPENINGSS",OUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS, OUR INABILITY TO USE THE SYSTEM, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE USED.
Is Stress necessary for life? 1st understand Pressure, controlled is essential for ones betterment and growth but Un-controlled is STRESS. pressure can be a good thing. It keeps you focused. It makes you competitive. It prompts action. But stress, as many of us know, can turn toxic.

I know the conventional view is that some stress is necessary, but I absolutely don't believe that.
However the stimulus that causes stress can be looked at as being a forked path. Thee are two possible responses to it.
One path causes the individual to strive and grow to a higher level of awareness and consciousness. This will result in the kind of 'flow' or optimal experience.
The second path is a shrinking or withdrawal from the challenge that leads to stress.

Hi Mr. Rob McPhillips,
I am glad to have your nice response. Even I do not beleive STRESS is necessary. PRESSURE is essential at times to keep us going and to thrive for something special but UNCONTROLLED PRESSURE, I call it STRESS, is bad in any form at any moment of time.
Secondly, I would like to add in your perfect statement that there can be two ways to respond to the stimulus causing STRESS-and it all depends on our mind which way we take it and wether getting affected or not.
I am happy to be one of the member of this forum.
Thanks & Regards.
DR. G. C. Mehta

Exactly. We are always either growing or decaying.
Situations call us to grow and use the situation as a stimulus to reach a happier state of living or shrink from it and respond with fear and get stuck in a stressful state.

The stress response, otherwise known as the fight or flight response, has served an evolutionary purpose. Initially when stressed, your breathing and heart rate is likely to quicken, and blood and oxygen gets shunted to the major muscles in preparation for fight or flight. While this may have served an adaptive reason when being stalked by a tiger in the caveman times, such a response may not be optimal in today's times when our best response to today's stress, such as relationships, work stress and so forth, is often a clear rational and calm approach.
I find that breathing exercises are a great way to counter the stress response and activate the relaxation response.
