Is It Really Possible To Find Real Happiness?
According to a recent University of Oxford study, the average American will spend about 80,000 hours during their lives worrying. It’s an obsessive-compulsive state that causes severe stress on cortisol levels and causes depression and anxiety. The findings also reveal that people who are depressed or anxious in their teens are more likely to have these issues later in life.
This article is not only going to teach you ways you can avoid being consumed by worry, but it’ll also give you tips on how to prevent the early onset of these mental health disorders.
Stress and worry are both mental health disorders that people spend a lot of time trying to get rid of. However, the best way to approach them is by first understanding the problems causing them. Here are some common reasons for stress and worry, as well as tips on how to cope with these issues.
To start with, let’s cover what exactly the term “stress” means, and then move onto the details of exactly what causes it. The definition of stress is ‘emotional tension or anxiety’ and it can have a negative effect on your body and mind if you aren’t careful. Now, let’s look at some of the main causes of this crippling condition.
Stress is caused by a variety of factors. Some of these could be:
Lack of support – Feeling like you aren’t getting enough emotional or physical support from family and friends can lead to stress. This can be a result of you not being close enough with these people, or that they’re just not there for you when you need them. Although it may take some time to repair these relationships, it’s important that you do so to prevent yourself from going into bouts of stress and worry.
Lack of time – When you’re busy, it can be easy to forget that you have too much to do. When this happens, it’s hard to keep yourself motivated and secure in the knowledge that you have a limited amount of time left in the day. Additionally, having less time to devote each day can lead to even more stress as you try and fit everything into your schedule.
Risk – People who are more prone to anxiety and depression feel stressed when they’re put in an environment where they may not be safe. This is why people with these issues tend to avoid certain situations as much as possible.
Other people – People who are shy and introverted may feel more stress when they’re in a room full of their peers. Introverts are known to be egotistical and independent, which is why a lot of people avoid having to socialize with them. Being shy can also be a form of insecurity, which causes fear of being judged. In this case, it’s important that you surround yourself with people who make you feel safe and loved.
Work pressure – When you have to deal with deadlines and people you don’t like, it can be difficult to cope with these things on a daily basis. This leads to stress, especially if your job is on the line.
Relationships – You may be worried about your relationship with a friend or family member. If you’re feeling anxious about this situation, it can lead to more stress, which could cause even further anxiety. In this case, you should try and talk about your concerns with the other person involved and see if it helps clear up any confusion.
Schedules – Most people have a schedule for the day; however, schedules can sometimes get stressful when you have too many things planned for a day that doesn’t seem long enough. Having too much on your plate can also lead to feelings of anger and anxiety as you try and manage everything at once.
Repetitive stress – Some people may feel stressed out by certain situations or events that they encounter in their daily lives. This could include someone who always has to say ‘yes’ to requests, or who always has to be the center of attention at social functions.
These are just a few of the things that can cause anxiety and stress. So, how do you deal with them? The best way to cope with these issues is by looking for reassurance and support when you need it.
Reassurance and support are crucial for dealing with stress. When you’re stressed, it’s easy to become stubborn and tend to doubt your own judgment. This can be dangerous and will often lead to you making poor decisions.
A good way to overcome this problem is by actively seeking out support from friends and family, or even going on a date and meeting new people. You should be friendly and polite with everyone you interact with, and make sure that you give them positive attention. Although it may not seem like the right thing to do, this can go a long way in helping ease stress caused by your negative attitude towards others.
You should always listen to your own advice when it comes to dealing with anxiety and stress. If you’re feeling worried about something, trust yourself instead of trying to avoid the problem until it goes away on its own. If you avoid the situation, it’s likely that the stress will get worse. If you can’t handle what’s happening, try to find someone who can help you.
Another way to deal with stressful situations is by getting a hobby or doing something fun and relaxing. This isn’t always easy when you’re busy with other things and people might not understand why you want to do these things when there are more important things to focus on. What you need to do is be honest with yourself and try your hardest to create some time for yourself each day. In this case, try and schedule in time for relaxation and fun before anything else.
If you really want to get rid of your stress, it’s best to try and deal with the source of the problem. Sometimes anxiety and stress are caused by negative thoughts, so you should try and focus more on positive thoughts. When your mind is full of positive, uplifting thoughts, you’re less likely to feel this way when real life happens. So, it is one way in which each person can fight against these feelings!
