Now days, stress has become an essential part of everyone’s life. People in this fast-paced life of theirs cannot imagine their lives without stress. It’s not about a particular thing which causes stress, or we can’t find the root cause of this stress behind a particular task. It’s just that as we try and find happiness in every small task which we do, these tasks simultaneously give us stress also, due to one or the other reason. Sometimes it even becomes the cause of problem. There is no one thing which gives us stress in particular. We can be stressed regarding various things like what’s happening in our personal life, our health, our relations, our family, our kids, the things happening in our professional life and work stress. Apart from this the budget passed every year is the greatest source of worry for a common man. Further, there are so many other various factors also which can cause stress to people like the things taking place in the country, the climate change and many more.

This made us realize that it is not only our personal or professional life which causes us stress but rather there are many other things in this world which in a way becomes the origin of our stress.
