Based on this definition, stress can be considered as a consequence or response of the organism to a threat.

Financial Stress. Causes, consequences and possible solutions.
The insecurity and economic and financial instability are the most frequent triggers of stress, caused by the possibility of not having the necessary economic means to cover the family needs and a potential debt that would cause a bigger problem.
These are just some of the many causes of financial stress, one of the scourges most commonly seen in the wake of the global economic recession as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The consequences of financial stress can cause health and work problems, one of the most alarming of which is the lack of mental concentration that prevents us from carrying out our work activities and can even lead to the loss of our jobs.
However, it can be avoided by following some tips, such as:
1.-Identify and assign an order of priorities to the requirements, reduce unnecessary and superfluous expenses; as well as apply a conscious austerity policy.
2.-Structure an income and expenditure plan to record and control both items.
3.-Establish and follow a balanced diet and maintain a discipline of exercise, which will allow you to release tensions and worries.
4.-Maintain a positive but realistic attitude towards your personal financial situation.
5.-Set yourself measurable and real goals, within acceptable deadlines and adapted to your personal reality.
In conclusion, financial stress can be considered as a direct consequence of a bad economic situation of insecurity in the financial sphere, resulting in negative effects on our physical and mental health.

Hello friend, I agree, I think one of the big problems in our lives is economic stress, today with the pandemic many people lost their livelihood and have had to start from scratch. It is something that can affect us both physically and mentally, although we do not associate what happens in our mind is reflected in the body, so we must learn to master our emotions and seek solutions instead of immersing ourselves in the problem. Greetings!
