Things That Cause Your Stress
by Andrew John
Before you start coping with your stress, it is a good idea to find out what actually causes it. This will let you deal with causes rather than effects and make stress vanish almost instantly. However, the problem is that what we usually perceive as the true reason of your stress is only a trigger while the real reason of your present condition are buried much deeper than you suspect. Unless you want to spend fortune on psychotherapists, sit back, relax and start looking for the possible reasons. The best way to do it is making a list of all potential causes, then eliminate them one by one.
Get a piece of paper and start making notes. List all situations in your life that make you feel bad. Try to be as specific as you can, but if you feel strongly about more general problems, you may include them in your list.
Then, populate the second part of your list with all the people that make you feel stressed. Friends, family or workmates - it doesn't really matter. If you feel uneasy or stressed because of someone, put him or her on the list. Remember that it is ok to cool down or break those relationships that make you feel bad, especially that if you are unhappy with meeting someone the chances are this person doesn't like you very much either.
The next section of your notes will be devoted to more positive activities. Try to think of every activity you should do to make things better. How should your lifestyle be changed to make you feel less stressed? Do you need a change in your family life? Maybe changing your job will help? Or maybe you just need a bunch of new friends to meet? Take your time and think about it - this will be framework of your life plan for the next few months or years.
When you're finished, start a final section of your list: entertainment. Write down everything you like doing regardless of whether you actually do them. You have to know what makes you happy and relaxed - those two feeling are about the only shield you have against stress.
Now you have all you need to cope with your stress-induced problems. You have created a roadmap that allows you change your present life into something more pleasant. Just do not let yourself end your actions on creating a list alone. You have to put what you've written into action. This is the only way for that list to work.
