This is the first of a series of health related topics for the Salafis to read and benefit from:
Stress Management
Causes of Stress
Stress can result from a string of specific events, the general conditions in your life, life cycle transitions and developmental stages, or conflict with your belief system.
* A number of specific irritating events throughout a time period may include:
o Minor frustrations like traffic jams or arguments.
o Arguments with a boss or customer.
o Getting divorced or separated or getting married.
o A major illness or injury to yourself or a family member.
o Losing a job.
* The general conditions in your life can lead to long-term (chronic) stress. These conditions are stressful by themselves, but they also make it harder to handle other demands in your life. Conditions that may lead to stress include:
o Your physical health, if you lead an inactive lifestyle or you have a chronic health problem like heart disease or diabetes. Smoking and abusing alcohol or drugs may be an unhealthy way of coping with stress.
o Your emotional state, if you are dealing with emotional concerns such as unexpressed or uncontrolled anger, depression, grief, guilt, or low self-esteem.
o Your relationships, if you lack someone you can share your feelings with, are having difficulty in a relationship, or feel that you have no friends.
o Your surroundings, if you live in a dangerous or uncomfortable area where overcrowding, crime, pollution, or noise is a problem.
o Your job, if you lack a sense of control in it. Do you wonder whether you are good at your job, feel insecure in it, or lack a strong commitment to your work? (See stress on the job.)
o Your social situation, such as poverty, loneliness, or discrimination based on race, gender, or age.
*
Life cycle transitions and developmental stages can lead to stress, including:
o Reaching puberty.
o Leaving home.
o Getting married.
* Conflicts with your belief system?your perceptions and beliefs about the world, life, and yourself?may lead to stress. For instance, if you place a high value on family life but don't have the family life you want, you may feel stress.
