It is so stressing that I have no work. I just finished my contract last february. I want to look for a job, but my mom insist me to go abroad, but my money is not that enough to go somewhere else. I want earn money first and go abroad. Some people also stressing me. Life pressure. That's life. Hope I can go through these situations right now, It's really hard.

Stress is inevitable, it's every where at home,in the workplace, in school, on the road and so on.Stress is in every place. You need to cope up with stress otherwise,it will take the best out of you.So, how do you cope up with stress? Identify the sources of your stress and deal with it. You mentioned that your mom has been putting pressure on you to go abroad. Why don't you explain to her that you're short of money to be able to go abroad?Some agencies require placement fees and "Show money" .Tell you mom that you cannot afford the fees yet.Next, shun away from people who give you stress. Furthermore, don't let other people take charge of your emotions.
Lastly, act on your plans.Channel your energies in pursuing your goals.You said, you want to earn money first before going abroad. Start looking for a job now. Be optimistic.

Well,i can understand your situation.Before getting emotional on things, think about different pros and cons on both decisions.And that will help you to make the right one.I understand you would like to go for a job, then try for the same and tell your mother or others that you would like to go abroad and is saving the money for things.If they are insisting to go right now,ask them a time to allow you to be comfortable with the idea.But then going abroad for earning has its advantages as well.You could earn well.But then you need to find what is more comfortable for you.If you think you will be more happy in your place of you choice, then it would be better to stay there.But then you need to be diplomatic with others regarding the subject.Stress is part of life.If you cannot deal with it and start running away from things, it would become a burden.Many people make these sort of mistakes.It would be nice to face it before it becomes a demon.Plus,in your situation,it is just making the decision and being diplomatic with others.So its not that hard,though i could be missing some things.Hopefully things will get better.Enjoy your time in mylot.See you around.Thanks!

Stress, we all have stress, Physical, mental, emotional and the most critical of them all Financial stress. We cant avoid them. My advice, give yourself a weekly treat, Do something you love, hang out with your friends, or go to spa, read something about something you want to do now, or in the future. Be positive, think about what makes you happy, what you want to do in life, your Dreams :) 85% of all diseases are caused by stress. You also need exercise and proper diet and drink vitamins. If you dont have stress but your always sick, its still doesnt do you any good. Dont get stressed by what other people want for you. Set your Goal, if your Goal is to Make money and Go abroad then, make a plan, set deadlines on how you can achieve this. and most importantly act on your plan and focus. You can do it :)

eish, sorry about that.. Life is all about discovery which leads to the discovery we need.
Please don't stress because life is too short to stress about it.
it is like a chapter when you a reading a book, you finish one chapter , you move to the other one.
I believe the only time where you don`t stress about life is when life is no more.
Where there is no Christ , there will be crises...
Take it easy my sister.

I can relate somehow. I am really pressured to decide this March on which course should I pursue. I am already 21 years old and still haven't finish college, I am actually an engineering student but I am already thinking of shifting to another course. My brother will also go to college this coming semester, and it's really disappointing that instead of being able to help my parents funding my brother's education... here I am still studying.

Maybe it is time to talk to your mom that you have your plans and you intend to follow through them. And if the people around you would still insist their own opinions on how you should live your life, then maybe you should stop listening to them and start listening to what yourself says. Follow the dictates of your own conscience and do and what you think is best for yourself. You will be happier that way. Not exactly stress-free, but definitely not that stressful.

That's why it's so good to be a kid again. Being an adult is really stressing. Work, paying bills etc. Your mother wants you to go abroad? If there's a chance that you'll earn as much here why go to other places? I go for leisure but work? Try applying in Odesk. If you have skills, there's a good chance you'll land a nice job there. I work there sometimes when my client is contacting me. At least you'll be paid in dollars. Apply on hourly work for ensured payment.

actually you may have that stress free life that you want. don't let other people control what you think and do. they are not your owner and creator. my advice is breathe deeply and say God ill leave everything into your hands, because you are my creator and owner, savior, father, and bestfriend. God said for those weary, tired and stressed.
"take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for you souls."
Matthew 11:29

Stress is always going to be there, but I can tell you one thing from my life experiences. When you have a relationship with God, he will show you grace and mercy. It may be hard, but all this burden he can take away from your shoulders. Rely on God.
