Stress is something we should take very seriously. Recent research that 48% of Americans believe that their lives are becoming more stressful. We’ve looked at ways to fight stress and to find your calm, but as well as treating the symptoms, we need to tackle the issues. So, let’s take a look at 4 of the big daily stressors and what to do about them for the sake of your health.
4 daily stressors:
1. Unbalanced work
We live in a very work-driven society. We’re trying to succeed, to make something of ourselves, and to provide for our loved ones.
But we often go too far, and work-life balance is becoming a serious issue. Time management is one of the single best tools to ensure that we keep space and time for all aspects of our life.
For instance, if you’re a mompreneur or you work from home, set some rigid ground rules, including:
- Exact times when you begin and end work
- Spaces that you can’t be interrupted in unless it’s an emergency
Creating boundaries makes it a lot easier to go from “work”-mode to “life”-mode, and vice versa.
2. Unbalanced health
Stress isn’t just an emotional state. It’s a very real physical change dictated by hormones in the body and how they affect the mind. A healthy lifestyle has been proven to have a huge effect on these hormones.
For instance, a better diet with more B vitamins, Omega 3, and magnesium can help combat stress. Exercise is a well-known therapy for working off stress.
Better sleep habits will contribute massively, too.

3. Unbalanced books
Part of the reason we work so hard is that we want to take control of our financial situation. Monetary sstress is very real and can be one of the most acutely harmful ones.
Beyond starting to budget our money, to find our bad habits and to make sense of expenditures, we need to know there are always options out there. When dealing with debt, tools like consolidate.loan can help us make things manageable.
When we’re in need of a little extra money, the availability of side gigs online, easier loans, and even options like renting out storage space in the home can help us get back on top.
4. Unbalanced goals
Sometimes, we lose direction in life. Perhaps balancing our work, our health, and our money can all feel like we’re just treading water.
Humans desire a sense of purpose and goal-setting, as recommended by wanderlustworker.com, can help you find that. Not only can we set goals that make real practical differences in our lives.
The feeling of completing challenges we set for ourselves and of making real progress will, in the end, make us feel like a more active, successful person with more agency in our own lives.
Daily stressors and unexpected causes of stress
Beyond the management of daily life and the direction we take our lives, there are big disruptions that are serious contributors to stress as well. Bereavement, sudden or chronic health issues, job loss, or a change in circumstances.
When it comes to these abrupt causes of stress, it should go without saying that we need to take care of ourselves and admit when we need some help to deal with the fallout. We can find a calmer version of ourselves again. Sometimes it just takes time.
