While stress itself is enough in your life, there are also numerous events that will happen over the course of your life that will continue to stress you out. These are often inevitable, which can be very frustrating, since they take such a toll on your mental well-being. These can come with daily activities and events.

You need to be prepared for these kinds of events to avoid as much stress as possible in the future. Stoic teachings stress living in the present moment and not to worry about future events. But what you do now through reasoned choices can have an impact on your future. How we handle everyday issues can impact how we deal with stress in the long term.

Discourses 1.6.26-29 states But some unpleasant and hard things happen in life.—And do they not happen at Olympia? Do you not swelter? Are you not cramped and crowded? Do you not bathe with discomfort? Are you not drenched whenever it rains? Do you not have your fill of tumult and shouting and other annoyances? But I fancy that you hear and endure all this by balancing it off against the memorable character of the spectacle. Come, have you not received faculties that enable you to bear whatever happens? Have you not received magnanimity? Have you not received courage? Have you not received endurance? And what care I longer for anything that may happen, if I be magnanimous? What shall perturb me, or trouble me, or seem grievous to me? Shall I fail to use my faculty to that end for which I have received it, but grieve and lament over events that occur?
