The source of tensions could be financial, could be related to relationship issues, might be triggered by a diseases or could be anything that lead you to lose your peace of mind. Instead of getting worried or tensed you can explore and chose strategies to figure out the solution and curate your response accordingly. Remember life is just 1% what happens to you and 99% how you respond to it.
