Why We Get Stressed And Where Does Stress Come From?
There are many different kinds of stress. And there are many different levels of stress that result from stressful events in life.
Anyone who is dealing with the difficult events in their daily life gets stressed at some point. It is caused by the basic tendency for humans to struggle with the "fight or flee" mentality when we feel challenged or pressured out of our normal state of comfort.
It is in human nature that we often expect a lot from everything around us and in our busy lives. We can feel stress from being disappointed or pressured to perform above our usual standards, and having unrealistic expectations of people around us or special events like Holidays.
Whether it's the nature, other people around us or the self, we push ourselves to the limits to achieve what we long for and that drive is nothing but the first stage which gives birth to increased stress levels.
Fear of losing something in real life can also cause an immense amount of stress which can certainly hamper our performance in work life too. There are many tragedies in life that can also cause depression and anxiety, like grieving for a personal loss.
You can also worry about your job or your relationships. One of the biggest stressors in life and relationships is money worries, so these times of tough economics raise the stress levels in many people.
It is important to learn how to reduce and manage your stress, as it is HOW you deal with what happens that is more important than the actual event in your life that is causing you stress. Basic Stress management techniques can be learned and applied that will make your life more calm, relaxed and much happier.

- One of the worst things one can say to a person in stress is that 'stress doesn't exist'! However, there is truth in it. Stress has no existence in its own right. It is WITHIN us and, dare I say it, created by us. Perhaps learning this can be a start on the way to conquering stress.

- thanks for dropping by and commenting Chris - I agree that a lot of our stress is 'self inflicted' by over reaching our capacity - and then we don't know how to deal with all the adrenaline that is caused as a consequence.
It's important to learn the skills and techniques to give yourself some stress relief, or you will get very ill and worn down.
