Stress and Sources of stress

Each day presents us with new opportunities and challenges. Maintaining our physical and mental health require countless adjustments, and how successfully we adapt depends largely on how we view our individual challenges.

Stress can be said to be the wear and tear of life for which the adjustment by the individual concerned is necessitated. It's necessary to know that stress is inevitable, though it can be managed.


Sources of stress
You have to bear in mind that stress is everywhere though it occurs in certain circumstances. Hence these are the major sources of stress:

Life changing situation
Changing situation of life, such as death of a spouse, divorce and marital separation, marriage, retirement, pregnancy, changing job, personal injury or sickness, jail term, death of close family members, loss of job, marital reconciliation e.t.c

Everyday hassles
our everyday hassle which interfere with the ability to function efficiently or to attain goals such as traffic jam, bad weather, loud noise of crowd, quarrels. Also generally daily hassles include, health of family members, rising prices, home maintenance e.t.c

Job stress
We should know that every job or work has its own stress. For instance, a poor fit between the person and the job environment, if you have inadequate talent or training for your job, lack of interest in your job-the fit is poor and the job stress is high.

Stress in the home 
This arises, such home environment as the physical and social structure of the neighborhood, financial problem, parent-child relationships. Home life is stressful, when either marital partner feels that he or she cannot talk to the other about things that are of personal interest.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
