Stressors are external or internal stimuli, situations, or conditions that can trigger a stress response in the body. They are factors that upset our balance and lead to emotional or physical stress.
Stressors can have significant effects on health and wellbeing. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), around 75% of adults report everyday stress, with work demands, financial concerns, and interpersonal conflict being the most common stressors. A study by the “National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health” shows that chronic stress at work can reduce productivity and increase absenteeism. In addition, prolonged stress can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and psychological problems, such as anxiety disorders and depression.
Stressors can come from outside as well as from within. External stressors include professional challenges such as heavy workloads, tight deadlines, or interpersonal conflicts within the team. Internal stressors can include personal factors such as self-doubt, perfectionism, or inadequate coping strategies. Changes in the living environment, such as relocations or family conflicts, can also cause stress.
