Causes of StressThe causes of
stress are many--from the big, lifetime occurrences like
loosing a loved one or loosing your job, to the small, daily stressors
like getting a parking ticket and talking with your child's teacher
about her latest grades. Sometimes the causes are
physical--an illness or injury, and other times they are mental--a
fight or a difficult deadline.
In everyone's life, we have stress. Understanding the what causes stress can help us to better manage our stress, to anticipate what we need to do to cope, and make arrangements to reduce the stressors as much as possible. Typical Causes of Stress

Spiritual Causes of Stress
Spiritual stress may be the most amorphous of the stressors. We hardly recognize an existential crisis in our busy everyday lives, and yet often at the root of stress, we have lost our connection with the Divine. We yearn for meaning, security, a sense of place. When we are in touch with the Divine, often very stressful situations pass easily. A death becomes a tender farewell. A financial crisis becomes a chance to reprioritize. A lost job becomes an opportunity to do something more fulfilling. Our lives have stress. The lists above demonstrate that the people who don't have a stressor in their live are a smaller group than the people who do. So while the causes of stress are important to understand, what is more important is that we learn to cope with the stress that inevitably comes our way.
