Causes of Stress

Actually, stress is a normal part of the life that we can’t need to remove from our daily livings. However, if stress is not handled on time and becomes long-term, it will likely interfere with your job, family life, and health in a serious way. And in order to well cope with stress, the initial thing we need to do is to exactly figure out why you get stressed out!!!

In fact, everyone has very different stress triggers. And work stress is considered one of main stress causes. According to surveys, 45-percent of U.S. employees admit to experiencing office stress, and 1/4 of them say work is definitely the biggest source of stress in their lives. In addition to work, there are a lot of other stress causes. For more details, let’s take a look at the following list of most popular causes of stress in our daily life.

Causes of work stress:

• Being unhappy in your job.
• Working long hours.
• Having a heavy workload or too much responsibility.
• Working under dangerous conditions.
• Having poor management, unclear expectations of your work, or no say in the decision-making process.
• Being insecure about the chance for advancement or risk of termination.
• Facing discrimination or harassment at work, particularly if your company isn't supportive.
• Having to give speeches in front of your co-workers.

Causes of life stress:

• Getting married
• Divorce
• The death of a loved one
• Loss of a job
• Increase in financial obligations
• Moving to a new home
• Chronic illness or injury
• Taking care of an elderly or sick family member
• Emotional problems (anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, etc)
• Traumatic event (a natural disaster, theft, violence against you. etc)

When stress comes from your inside, rather than the outside:

• Fear and uncertainty.
• Attitudes and perceptions. Of course, how we view the world or a particular situation can also determine whether it causes stress.
• Unrealistic expectations. Of course, when you expect to perfectly do everything all the time, you are destined to feel so stressed if things don't go as expected.

What is Stress???

Stress is the way our body responding to any kind of demand. It can be resulted from both good and bad experiences as well. When someone feels stressed by something going on around, his or her body reacts by releasing chemicals into the blood. Well, these chemicals will be either a good or bad thing to the body. That’s up to many factors, including the stress level, stress causes (physical, emotional, or mental), etc. For example, in some cases that the stress is caused by a physical danger, then the body releases kinds of chemical which give us more energy and strength, that would be so great. But this can also turn into a really bad thing if the stress is in response to something emotional and there’s no outlet for this extra energy and strength. 

Some very first introduction

Dear my friends!!! I bet that no one of us has never suffered from stress in such a busy and modern life. Well, stress is definitely an inseparable part of our lives. Sometimes, stress, as well as pressure in a moderate level, is considered a pretty positive factor, helping us become more motivating and powerful. But, overstress, on the other hand, is something really harmful to our health, especially if this lasts for long period of time. In fact, not many of us is able to be aware of our own stress level and then have immediate control and treatments. So what should we do to keep ourselves away from overstressing and its bad effects on our bodies??? That seems like a big question, but if you care yourself enough, it's not a big deal at all for sure.
