Stressed out!

Everyone faces stress in their lives. Different people have different stress triggers that can affect them in their daily lifestyles. Some may stress about exams, some about their jobs and some just about ruining another person's life. A decision made in the spur of a moment can easily bring someone down, from happy-go-lucky to a person that no one recognizes- such drastic is that change. Just a simple yes or no or even not saying anything can be deemed as cruel to a person, make them feel like they have been punched countless of times in the stomach until they feel out of breath and in severe pain. Feeling kicked and left to the dust is never a fun nor good way to feel.

Such a person who made that decision like above would definitely be facing stress. Decisions are never easy to make, and knowing that your choice has ruined someone's life just makes it all the more harder. Eventually, everyone would have to go through that phase at least once in their lives, the phase of letting down someone, but that still doesn't make it easier when it actually happens to you.

   Stress can also originate simply from our way of thinking, the perspective from which we view things. More often than not, we bring stress upon ourselves by overthinking things. We have to learn to let things roll off our backs and think of them as minor bumps in the road called life. If we can't overcome these so-called minor bumps, how else are we going to live life as it should be lived? There is no doubt that at a certain point of life, we will be facing a much, much larger 'bump' in that road. It is not so much as a bump rather than a wall that we must overcome. There is no way to put it off but to face it head on. Therefore, we have to always be ready to face whatever challenge we will encounter further on in our lives in order to avoid unwanted stress.
