 we will shed some light on some possible causes of the
stress
 problem, as well as some solutions. In my opinion, the underlying factors of
stress
 can be generalized into two folds, economical and psychological. Economical
reasons
 are those related to the hunt for more resources or the situation in which difficult decisions are to be made due to deprived resources, and
stress
 level is typically greater for the latter.
For example
, some people would be under

 when they are in a competition for a promotion opportunity, others may feel worried when seeing the ever-rising property prices.
On the other hand

society are living from hand to mouth and they can be on the brink of a mental collapse in the process of making their ends met. As for psychological
reasons
, the
reasons
 are numerous and comparatively more diverse in nature. They can be related to relationships, studies, health situations of the family members and so on.
For example
, a friend of mine, who did not get along with colleagues, was once very stressed about going to the annual dinner of her company, as she feared that nobody was going to talk with her. Due to the fact that the root of the
reasons
 of
stress
 is so heterogeneous, never is it realistic for us to pinpoint a particular solution to solve all the problems involved. As far as I am concerned, the key point is to adjust
one
's thoughts. More often than not,
stress
 implies that the current status which
one
 is in is less desired than the level
one
 wants to be in.
Thus
, in order to relieve
stress
, it is advisable for
one
 to accept the current undesirable status mentally, yet
one
 should not give up but still try his or her best to achieve the desired result. In conclusion,
stress
 is usually originating from economical or psychological
reasons
. In order to handle

 in a better way,
one
 should realize and accept honestly
