Top Five Stressful Situations In Life

 This is a collaborative post and it may contain affiliate links

If there is one thing that will intrude on your personal peace, it’s stress. Life is packed with stressors and you have to know all about them so that you can identify the things that stress you out the most. It’s something that seeps in and intrudes on your peace, and it’s not something you have to listen to if you don't want to. If you have ever owned your own house, you know what it means to feel stress - especially if you ever lose your job.

Stress makes you feel weak even when you’re not. It makes you feel out of control when you really need to be in control. You need to be able to depend on yourself and you have to be able to spot when things are going to be stressful. Once you can identify these issues, you can feel safer and more secure. As you get older, you will experience things in your life that’ll make you feel more stressed than you expect, and below, we’ve got the top five stressors in life.

1. Death. Of a friend, of a relative, of a partner - death causes all kinds of grief and stress, and while death is a part of life, it’s not one that you ever want to have to think about. Stress is involved in the death of the people around you and you can get some help from others if you want to ensure that you get through the grief in one piece. Instead of feeling constantly stressed, you’ll feel supported.
2. Divorce. While you might be able to alleviate some of the stress of divorce with the help and support of mediation, you need to remember that splitting up from a partner is stressful. Having an ex-spouse is stressful, managing the children between two homes is stressful. Understanding how you can get through divorce in one piece is important and you can reduce your stress, too.
3. Moving house. If you are moving from one place to another, you’re going to feel that stress. Disruption of your routine causes a lot of stress, and it’s a pain to deal with. You can outsource your move to packers and movers, though, which can help you to relieve your stress and you can avoid any of it as much as possible. You don't have to lift a finger if you don't want to!
4. Illness. If you’re not covered correctly, the cost of illness can be as stressful as the illness itself. Any major illness is a stressor in life and it takes a physical and emotional toll on your body. It can also have a financial impact on your life, too.
5. Job loss. You need a job to live, to pay the bills and to feel as if you are worth something. If you lose your job, you’re going to need to find another quickly so that you can meet all of your other commitments. Job loss causes stress, and you don't need that stress in your life.

Available on: Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com

Synopsis:

Over the Broad Earth presents a sweeping fantasy tale of the eternal struggle between Angels and Demons. This imaginative tale tracks the continuing contest of two Celestial brothers, God and Satan, who, by ancient decree, can only unleash their sibling rivalry when human beings engage in combat. 

The citizens of both Heaven and Hell endure all the emotions and circumstances of the humans they routinely inhabit, love, valor, passion, treachery, bravery, and heartache. Readers will follow the exploits of two of the greatest "eternal" warriors of the ages: Lord Zinc II (Heaven) and Schizophrenia "Schitz" Incenderos Nervosa (Hell). The rivals battle one another throughout history from the struggle between the Babylonians and Assyrians in the desert through and beyond the teeming jungles of Southeast Asia. 

Along the way, these intrepid fighters interact with a host of characters (Moses, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and more), friends, fiends, and lovers. Displaying the same traits of compassion and selfishness known to all of Creation, Schitz and Zinc lead their soldiers - and try to stay alive.
