Answer and explanation

Daily “hassles” tend to occur on a regular basis and consist of experiences that can threaten or otherwise damage our general well-being. They often entail household hassles, health hassles, time pressure hassles, inner concern hassles, environmental hassles, financial responsibility hassles, work hassles, security hassles, and life changes. Hassles and life changes can cause us to become more apprehensive, impact our moods, and also predict various types of health problems.
