Do you think that stress leads to certain health problems?

Yes, I agree to the fact that is one of the major problems why we face some certain health problems as it gives no room for quality sleep and rest and as a result sicknesses and diseases finds an easy entrance to our body system. Stress usually happens when we are surrounded with to many responsibilities which we cannot do alone,it also affects our mental performance and also causes lack of focus as it takes quality sleep and rest for the brain to function properly.

Stress is a condition that places pressure on our physical, psychological and emotional makeup. It creates a condition oh high anxiety, confusion and dear in our psyche, it occurs at workplace, in our relationship and in our daily lives when we try too hard to meet up deadlines and expectations in our workplace and even in our domestic life.

It is difficult to live in this modern world without stress, because the world is technologically driven which causes us to strife to break existing record and create an atmosphere of relevance for ourselves. In pursuance of this lofty goals, we tend to place ourselves under pressure which invariably leads to stress.

Do you lead a stress-free work or daily life? Explain

No, I lead a stressful life and like I said earlier it is not easy to lead a stress-free life giving the demand in this modern age. I am a man with two jobs and I do them daily in order to make ends meet and put food on my table. I am a teacher and I wake up by 4:30 am in the morning to do some home chores like sweeping and washing before taking my bath and get to school before 7:30 am in the morning.

After spending close to six hours at school trying my best to impact knowledge to my pupils with so much effort, I still go to my workplace where we sew underwears around 3:30 pm in the afternoon and that is where I spend the rest of my day, it is a daily routine and am getting used to the stress.

In one way or the other, this daily routine sometimes keeps me in a situation of worry and thinking too much and what keeps me in so much thoughts is how I cope and handle my responsibilities as there is no one to help me and I believe this same thing happens to others who are passing through this particular thing.

What activity do you do to keep yourself worry-free and stress-free? Whether it's going out, going to the gym, going to the movies, going out to visit a relative, walking, etc.

Some of the activities I engage in to keep myself free from stress are listening to music and this is the main thing I do always as it has become part of me, I also chat with friends after and I discovered that discussing issues in areas of interest help reduce stress. I also engage in exercises an try as much as possible to go to bed as it helps me reduce stress.

Stress has been something that I face on daily basis and I'm trying as much as possible to make ends meet and also help my family in providing necessary requirements and resources especially these days that we are facing extreme difficult economic situations in our country.

Explain what situations cause you stress and if you have had or experienced any stressful moments!

Situation that causes me stress includes trying to meet up with deadline given at workplace and this is the most challenging because meeting deadline increases my sense of self worth and increases my rating at workplace. When I achieve a deadline in a given time my boss sees me as a dedicated and conscientious employee.
