Causes of stress

The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you can be stressful. This includes positive events such as getting married, buying a house, going to college, or receiving a promotion.

Of course, not all stress is caused by external factors. Stress can also be internal or self-generated, when you worry excessively about something that may or may not happen, or have irrational, pessimistic thoughts about life.

Common external causes of stress

  1. Major life changes
  2. Work or school
  3. Relationship difficulties
  4. Financial problems
  5. Being too busy
  6. Children and family

Common internal causes of stress

  1. Chronic worry
  2. Pessimism
  3. Rigid thinking, lack of flexibility
