The Stress

Nowadays, we are exposed to many kinds of stress. It has become a matter of grave concern because stress will cause disease, and this may result in death. So it’s important that we learn how to cope with stress. In order to deal with stress, I shall begin with causes of stress. There are many kinds of stress in life, but in my case, I can divide them generally into three parts. These are immediate causes, indirect causes and unconscious causes.

First of all, we most often feel stress because of immediate causes. An immediate cause is something which happens near you right now. For example, I have an exam tomorrow, so it becomes a stress for me. And I feel stress from learning English. I have been studying English here for six months, already. Now there are only four months left before I leave, but my English is still insufficient. It’s very stressful.

Secondly, we sometimes feel stress because of indirect causes. An indirect cause is something which will influence you in the near future. I will graduate from my university next year, and I should find a job quickly. Then, maybe I will marry someone. However, everything is uncertain right now. It is also very stressful when I think about that. I don’t know exactly how I can do all of these, and whether I will or not.

Finally, we are affected by unconscious causes. Maybe we don’t know whether it affects us or not, but I think it also is one of the causes. Let me see; I have very traditional old thinking, and it affects my mind. I worry about something wrong happening, I worry about that my parents are disappointed in me and I worry about if I am different from other people. Of course, I don’t always think about that, but maybe it makes me feel stress.

In conclusion, we are exposed to many kinds of stress, and there is no way to avoid the stress. So we should find another way, and cope with stress. We can have some good habits for coping with stress, and it will be good for our health. In the past, general Douglas MacArthur said that we should just enjoy something if we can not avoid it.
