In adulthood, life stressors such as financial concerns, work-related demands, and efforts to balance work with family life are common challenges that can take a physical toll on the body. Individuals should plan relaxation periods or vacations. Meeting with financial counselors and talking with family can help to achieve that balance. Changing jobs may be beneficial but could also create more stress, and forcing family to go to counseling may also not be a wise choice.
