Living one’s life is not sometimes always a smooth process. People tend to go through different circumstances which can often give a lot of stress and strain to the mind. Mental strain can indirectly affect the energy of the body. Too much of stress can wear one out and makes one less active throughout the day.
Daily Hassles can differ from life events on account of the length of the stress. Usually, a traffic jam can create a lot of stress for the time being. That stress and tension will be over after that particular scene is left behind. The mental stress is only for that moment. But in a life event gives stress in another way. It affects a person very deeply for a long period of time. In short, the death of a near or dear person can always create a great space in a person’s life. This can cause deep pain inside the person for several years. The loss of a near and dear one can always cause a sense of loss and loneliness in any person. Similar is the case with someone who has lost his job. Living without a job and becoming the subject of talk can always cause a deep pain in a person. Such a life event can be stressful and painful even after the problem has been solved. The fear of losing someone close to one’s heart and losing something called a dream job; all can cause deep pain even if resolved after a period of time.
Daily Hassles are totally different though the similar fact is stress. In Daily Hassles, stress is limited. Stress can leave as soon as the problem is over.

Though the period of stress one goes through in a Daily hassle is less compared to the stress and problems caused by a life event, the intensity of the stress experienced over that short period of time can prove to be dangerous to the person.
