Stressors

We live in stressful times. The pressure of holding down two or more jobs or being unemployed with mounting bills can be quite stressful. If one is lucky enough to be employed the person could often find themselves holding down a heavy job loads and with unreasonable demands being place upon ones shoulders. In this day and age many people are forced hid their outrage and frustration with unfair situations and irrational superiors because they cannot afford to be laid off or fired. This type of stress is quite different from to the individual whom have already been laid off and are struggling to find another job. With mounting bills the person and spiralling debt the person often struggles to cope with being unemployment. In many ways these outside strains are like stressors. Stressors are the barely-tolerable pressures that bring us unhappiness and have been known to contribute to disease. These stressors have been know to cause immense damage to health and well being of the person effecting their physical and mental state of mind.



Some people hardly seem to be affected by stressors. They maintain a sense of perspective and often have a good sense of humor. These people can remain calm in the midst of adversity and catastrophe. This is just the way they are. Were as other people are overwhelmed by a lesser number and intensity of stressors and slide downhill, losing relationships, jobs, and eventually their mental and physical health. This poses a question: why is this the case?

Why Inner strength plays its part. While it may seem that our problems are entirely the result of the enormous stressors in our lives, our mental and inner strength acts to determines the degree of functioning of our nervous system. The inner strength actually determines how we feel and respond, and that is far more critical when it comes to dealing with stressors. Mental balance, normal functioning of the nervous system. Being good humored, thinking things through logically are all aspects of natural inner strength. In many ways inner strength acts to protect us from stressors and would also allow us to express in many different ways allowing us to have a successful and fulfilled life. To put it shortly, inner strength is natural to some people, and what limits others.
