To us people, stress is now no longer an unfamiliar term. However, the way of viewing stress differs from one to another according to each individual’s level of endurance. Perhaps to this person, stress means to cope with major pressures from the workload or emotional depressions, while to another, stress simply is a reaction to the smallest negative events of life. Therefore, it is vital that you understand your ability to cope with stress and enhance it by restricting sources of stress.

The ability to tolerate with stress depends much on the way you look at your life and also the external environmental you are living in. It is understandable why some people can cope with an enormous amount of stress while some others have very limited tolerance with pressures; it is the matter of background and perspective. There are a few factors, according to scientists, which can influence the stress tolerance level of people, and first of which is the support network. As Helpguide.org wrote, “A strong network of supportive friends and family members is an enormous buffer against life’s stressors. On the flip side, the more lonely and isolated you are, the greater your vulnerability to stress”. However, this also has a downside: if you are surrounded by too many people at the same time, you may derive stress from having to interact and communicate too much without spending time on your own.

The sense of control is the second influential factor contributing to your ability to cope with stress. Strong-minded and determined people have the tendency to experience much less stress than vulnerable people who thinks they are incapable of keeping things under control. The key to reducing stress lies partly in your confidence towards decisions and your influence on events and challenges. Therefore, maintaining a balanced and stable sense of confidence is a crucial role while you try to reduce stress.

The third element that effects stress tolerance is your attitude and outlook. Most people who are pessimistic and lack belief suffer from stress, either in temporary or chronic stress. That is because negative attitudes towards life only enable stress to expand its harmful influences and allows it to stay in your mind within a long period. If you want to avoid stress and live a happy life, boost up your positive side by maintaining an optimistic perspective, embrace challenges and believe in a higher purpose or ambition of life.

The ability to deal with the diversity of emotion is also an important factor to enhance stress endurance. Whenever you feel sad, or angry, or afraid and even depressed, it is crucial that you can keep calm and maintain the stability as well as balance of your emotions. If you don’t know how to soothe yourself in these situation, the likelihood of getting involved with stress is very high.

Last but not least is the knowledge and preparation you have in your hands. You will be more likely to increase your “immune system” against stress if you know about the stressful situation. In other words, the more information you get about the situation, the more security and relaxation you will have, and therefore no more unnecessary stress. Coping with stress means to know your limit and understand how you would have to deal with it.

To sum up, the above five factors contributing to your stress tolerance level can be very useful for your future stress avoiding progress in life. It is best to know your enemy and what you will have to do to fight against it.
