Rapid changes are stressful.
Losing a job, experiencing a bad year in the farm or business operation, divorce or separation, or a death in the family can result in tremendous changes. These changes can also result in feelings of reduced self-worth. Personal and family crises often lead to a decrease in income and security, introducing many secondary problems. Since change can lead to stress, it is important to try to understand some causes, effects, and ways of handling stress. Controlling stress can help you face situations directly and move forward with your life.
