Where Does Your Stress Come From?

Sources of Stress can come from many categories of life.

My personal stresses originate from keeping up with a steady stream of original writings and postings on this website. I try to adhere to posting every two days and in between as often as I can. My goal of 20 articles and postings per month is quite realistic but does come with a certain stress factor.

How do I deal with my own stress? Well, I try not to even think about it too much and if I do, it's a healthy expectation and stress.

Changes in a job such as increased working hours or additional work load can certainly increase stress. Along with any interpersonal relationship troubles like the kind you could have with your boss. Some other problematic relationships could happen with the in-laws.

Studying a subject whether it's for college or university and keeping up with assignments and deadlines. Learning a new language could be equally stressful.

Unrealistic expectations can lead to setting yourself up for failure and a lowering of self-esteem. Money problems like dept repayments or overspending on credit cards and keeping up with loan repayments are common stressors
