Nowadays,
life

is becoming more complex and stressful. Despite the fact that
people
Use synonyms
are more prosperous than they used to be years ago, not only has the level of
stress
Use synonyms
not been reduced, but
also
Linking Words
it has increased significantly. I am going to examine the reasons for the origin of
stress
Use synonyms
and ways to fight it. First of all, a key factor of a stressful
life
Use synonyms
is overpopulation in cities and towns, especially in megapolises. The main feature of the
last
Linking Words
century is urbanization, which has led to thousands of
people
Use synonyms
moving to cities. Unfortunately, the pace at which towns are modernised and developed can be lower than the pace at which the population grows.
Therefore

public transport
such
Linking Words
as metro, trams and buses are usually overcrowded, causing annoyance among
people
Use synonyms
. Other problems are heavy traffic and extremely high renting costs that make

's
life

much harder and depressing. In my opinion,
this
Linking Words
problem can be solved only with the support of the government, which should finance the development of infrastructure and give incentives for house purchases.
Secondly
Linking Words
, an overload of information is another cause of
stress

these days.
Due to

the

almost everyone can access the internet, where all kinds of news are available. The major problem is that the more information we get the harder for us to filter distorted facts.
For instance

, there are millions of media chats and groups

Telegram, VK, and even Instagram. Some of the news can be frightening and depressing resulting in higher levels of
stress
Use synonyms
. To tackle
this
Linking Words
issue it is important to unsubscribe chats or leave groups with news in order to reduce the amount of information we get every day.
Finally
Linking Words
,
people

have forgotten about the balance of work and
life
Use synonyms
. The majority of the population works at least nine hours a day from five to six, which takes approximately one-third of the daytime.
As a result

,
people

just do not have enough time for their hobbies or family. Personally, I think that meditation can become a solution.
For example
Linking Words
, a person can listen to relaxing music or mantras
while

commuting.
To sum up

,
life

has a habit of becoming harder every day. In spite of the fact that

stress

does not go away
due to

different factors.
However

and nervousness.
