Stress- Number One Enemy of Man - By: Davidson Powell

Stress is somewhat a word everybody hears in every facet of life but seldom knows to identify the stressors and its way of eliminating it. Talking about stress and being stressed is never easy to deal with.
Stress comes in many variations to every approach in human's life. Some of us are stressed at work, at home, in social lives, in relationships or for any personal reason. A single stressor may not be the same to another person's stressed life, thus I am telling you how broad its topic as it can be. Stress also can be detrimental to health if not given enough time to solve it. Hard as it seems, you can never grow out of it unless you have to learn to identify what have caused you to be stressed.

What are stressors?

As being explained in the medical term, it is something or any stimulus/stimuli that have caused you to feel something uncomfortable or that is what we called stress.

So to be healthy, let us know some things that cause stress.

1. Child/Children.
Our God-given blessing is such a wonderful thing to have ever since. They brought us joy, affection, love, guidance and determination towards life. But in other sense, they also cause stress, too. It is for the reason that since from their time of infancy till the time they settle their own life on their own, we as parents, always think of the good things for them. We provide the best both for physiological and psychological needs in order for them to grow responsible citizens and we do give them the good education for them to acquire a greener pasture in time they reach the level of building their own family. These things are quite inevitable stressful for us because our children are the reasons on why we are striving to work in everyday living.

2. Money.
This is basically the reason why people are always working. Money is definitely important to us and so stressful, too. To think of the monthly bills, food allowances, personal needs and wants, money is at the top of all and it is a no question why money could be one of the top reasons of stress. Especially nowadays, prices of commodities are always getting higher and this keeps us on bothering to budget our income.

3. Health problems.
As an old adage goes "Health is wealth", health is very important to us. Thus, if you know that you have an illness no matter how small it may be, you will feel so uncomfortable and worry too much about it. Others may think about it already as a huge problem, thus releasing stress to their lives.

4. Threat.
Threat is one of the stressors. If you think you are being threatened- be it social, financial, personal, or physical, your sense of anxiety will increase and this could be the reason of any physical ailments you will likely suffer due to the result of stress.

5. Cognitive Dissonance.
Dissonance occurs when you have a logical inconsistency of your beliefs, principles or any frame of ideas. Like for instance, you can tell to others that you are an honest person, but time came when you lied for an important purpose and by this circumstance, you already have dissonance. Cognitive dissonance often leads to guilt, frustration, anger, or disappointments which could definitely be so stressful to anyone's space.

6. Fear.
Any forms of fear can be a stressor. It is merely because when you are fear of something or to someone, the tendency is you keep on worrying what will going to happen, then by doing so, you do not know you are already on the verge of a stressed life.

So?

For you to eliminate stress, try to relax once in a while. Go out yourself to beach walk or simply lay down inside your cozy room while thinking of the good things you achieved. Learn to relax your mind and body as well. Moreover, you really need to recognize every stressor that cause you stressed because there is no other way to get things in remedy than by knowing causes of your stress. And most importantly, pray. This might be the lost dimension in your life. Prayer works wonders!
