What things cause you stress?

Well i take it every weekend and at during festival months i never miss vacations, that my best stress relieving out of mechanical life.

The thoughts that stress me more concern, money, health and work. I have always the impression of not doing enough...

I too stress over everything. This makes my life a lot more difficult it seems. I am now trying to let some of it go. The small stuff I try to not worry about so much and just let it fall into place. I am having a better time of it, but it is so difficult to change something that you have done for so many years.

Sometimes, friends. But mostly schoolwork.

I think that some amount of stress is necessary for good performance.In a relaxed state one hardly concentrates and focuses on the task at hand.Stress can be self given or external.suppose u have a work to finish in a month;so if u stress urself a little daily to do that work , u will save urself frm the external stress of the deadline. For things not in our control the ideology should be ;if i cant change the result then why to waste time thinking about it.. and if i can what am i waiting for..this will lead to freedom frm negative effects of stress ..just try this technique and then let me know if it helps!

i tend to stress out over money issues and getting ahead in life..it can be frustrating to feel that you are not making any progress on a day to day basis.

hey eftychiap, I heard something the other day during some interesting family during-the-holiday-get together chit chat, "oh, don't go borrowing trouble", the less you want it the more you live stress free !". She was 80 and very thankful for keeping to this promise to herself made so many years ago. How does one 'borrow trouble', I thought scratching my chin in contemplative reverie (deep thought) ? I am curious what you do to bring stress on rather than fend it off ? sharing the light, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire

Hi eftychiap, There are so many reasons which cause stress.Some are consious and some are subconcious. To find the reason, you have to visit a psycologist. They will try to get the reason for your stress through counselling and prescribe some medicine according to the severeness of your stress. The major reason for stress is "Feeling Insecured". During stress, you cannot find correct answers to your questions and you may not make correct judgements. If your stress is bothering you through out the day and if you feel that it makes your day to day work difficult, feeling lethargic...then consult a doctor and start taking medicines. In a short period you will feel alright. But dont ignore. Best of luck and wish you a speedy recovery from your stress.

School! Studying is tiring and I have to do a lot of difficult homeworks. My teachers in the university are terror in giving out hard and long homeworks, assignments, reports and other requirements. I know it is part of a student's life but sometimes they are just too many, and too hard and sometimes there is not enough time! That is what stresses me most. My schedule of classes is also hectic. I have to wake up early morning so I won't get late in class. That is around 6:30 am every week, from Monday to Friday. I have to sleep early too if I don't want to wake up late. I think this really stresses me because I don't have time to do what I want to do and have fun. I always try to solve them quickly and have fun in my vacant time.
