Yes u r absolutely right.

These things are known as self test.
We have to remain strong to fight against these.

These comes to test ourselves.

Good .....

I couldn't agree more on the list of the 4 main stressors. I run my own company and I'm a mother to two children. So in my work and at home, I have to find ways to de-stress myself. Sometimes, it helps if I find some time for myself. I go to the spa, eat lunch alone by the park, and do some window shopping. Together with my family, these little things I do to myself keep me sane.

The four stressors
Pain

Pavlov used electric shocks to the legs of the dogs as a part of the conditioning process. He found that if the voltage was too high, that the dog would start to go into a breakdown process.
Exhaustion

Another physical method of causing stress was to exhaust them, either by over-working them or by depriving them of food. Either way, the result was that the dogs' ability to resist stress was weakened.
Delay

A further way of inducing stress was to cause cognitive distress by inserting a delay between the ringing of the bell (that signaled meal-time) and the delivery of the food to the dog. The dogs thus experienced the Cognitive Dissonance of expecting food and finding that it was not there when it should be.
Confusion

Finally, he could use conflicting signals such that the dogs could not predict what to expect, and hence became confused and uncertain. As with the effect of delay, this method induced additional cognitive processing that eventually led to exhaustion and an inability to cope.
Discussion

Two of these stressors are physical and two are mental. Physical stressors are pain and exhaustion. Mental stressors delay and confusion. Another way of dividing them is by the methods of direct threat and indirected erosion. Thus we can create the 2x2 matrix as below.

I agree with all the four points, although most of the time in my case my stressors are mental than physical. I get so stressed when I have to deal with personal, family, or work related issues. It consumes my energy and patience and I get so stressed out. I can take physical stress just fine because I can just sleep it out.

You can also add DEPRESSION....
