Life has become much stressful compared to our parent’s generation. As a results, stress-related illnesses are increasing around the world. Why is stress such widespread in the modern world and what do you think can be done to overcome the problems caused by stress?

The universe is expanding fast, like our
life
. Once people, like our parents, lead a decent, simple and happy
life
, but our times have changed greatly, and nowadays, we are living in a sea of
stress
. So, mental problems are
also
increasing at an alarming rate.
This
essay intends to analyse the reasons behind
this
phenomenon and
then
present some suggestions to alleviate these potential problems. The list of the causes behind our
stress
is long. To start with, we are having a very complex
life
those days and our expectations are the main culprit here. Our former generation has fewer expectations and happier
life
.
In contrast
, we have a great hunger for achievements to upgrade our status and to show off in society. But, the irony of fate is that most of us find nothing but failure and frustration in
this
process.
For instance
, if a normal man earns enough for his livelihood, he will never be happy with that and runs after more and
finally
ends us with unpeaceful
life
.
Moreover
, competition has a big role in our way to a happy and healthy
life
. Competition is everywhere in nature but we take it to another level. Though we do have not proper skills, we have to win every race.
This
is just detrimental to our mental health and leads to illness.
For example
, every parent wants their child to be
first
in the exam, but in
this
,regard they fail to understand the exact meaning of education and became more unhealthy to do tension about their children's carrier.
Although
, there are numerous reasons for increasing
stress
there are some measures
also
.
First
of all, we all have to be aware of mental health as well as physical. We should not overlook our mental problems.
Then
, we have to take control over our expectations so that we can make our
life
more meaningful.
Besides
, we need to spend some quality time with our family which will help us to reduce our work
stress
dramatically. To conclude , how our
life
will depend on how we think about it or plan for it. We must have to balance our work
life
and family
life
.
Finally
, we should remind that “sometimes we gain more by losing than winning.”
