Some psychologists think that the best way to overcome the stress of everyday life is to spend a portion of the day doing absolutely nothing. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays life is stressful and

people

try to comfort themselves in any way possible. I absolutely disagree with a number of psychologists who say that individuals should do nothing in a part of each

day

to beat

stress

because of issues with

time

and effectiveness. Most

people

today have no

time

in their daily lives to spend doing nothing. They have to wake up early each morning, go to work for at least eight to ten hours, and spend the rest of the

day

dealing with other routine issues

such

as other jobs they do, the problems of their family members and so on. All of these things take up so much

time

and there is no

time

left for them to avoid doing anything.

Furthermore

, doing nothing does not actually help resolve the causes of

stress

. When a person rests and does nothing, he does not deal with what is causing him to become stressed,

such

as the household chores he has not done yet, homework for school or college, or arguments with others. So when he goes back to his normal life, he realizes that those issues are still real and have not changed. He

also

realizes that he has lost some of the

time

he could have spent dealing with them, which can cause even more

stress

. Some may argue that doing nothing gives the brain

time

to relax and recover, which helps it to become more efficient in dealing with stressful situations and problems.

However

,

people

have enough

time

to relax and recover during the night when they sleep, so it is not necessary to spend more

time

resting during the

day

. In conclusion, I believe it is not a good idea for

people

to allocate some

time

every

day

to doing nothing in order to decrease

stress

since they do not have enough

time

for

this

and it does not deal with the causes of

stress

.
