TheStressBustersVictory

Everyone in this world suffers from some or the other kind of stress. Whether you wear your stress on your sleeve and keep yourself out of activities or you stifle your stress in some recess of your mind and do not let the world know about it, the fact is that everyone is stressed. Some people are more elegant about the stress that they face, while other people cannot bear it. Some even succumb to it in the end.

The truth is that stress cannot be wished away. If you are stressed, you need to take immediate action so that it doesn’t impede you from progress. You should be the master and controller of your stress and not the other way round. ....

Now that you have a better idea of what stress is, it is a good time to understand what causes stress. What are these factors that should precipitate you into taking a particular action?

This chapter is going to open our eyes to these factors, which we shall call stressors. You may already have some idea about the things that can cause stress, but you should know that there are a lot more factors out there. ......

Internal Stressors

Signals that Tell You Are Stressed

The most significant aspect of combatting stress is that you have to accept it. A lot of people, such as people who have a medieval idea of masochism, will probably hide the fact that they are stressed. Or, there are people who think that if they speak about their stress, their near and dear ones will begin to worry. There are also those obstinate people who believe that they can do everything needed to eliminate their stress factor all by themselves and hence they do not think they need to tell anyone about it.   .....

Here are some things that you have to pay attention to.

1. All kinds of stress can be worked out.

2. You need to have the determination to do it.

3. The way you begin is to first come out of the denial.

4. Then, think about the factor that has caused you the stress in the first place.

5. Sit down and think some more. What can you do in order to resolve that factor? ....

Stress can happen due to internal as well as external factors. Anything and anyplace could be a causative factor of stress. It can happen at work, it can happen in a relationship, it can also happen when you are sitting at home, doing nothing.  .......
