In the modern world, despite having more advanced technologies and resources,
people
are facing more pressure as compared to our previous older generations. There was much peace, satisfaction and harmony in societies and celebrations in families even with no mobile phones and home appliances in older times. Nevertheless
, as a result
of stressful life
, people
are suffering from health issues and are not able to live a happy life
. This
essay will discuss the concerns resulting from the stress and some solutions to the problems caused by it.
Firstly
, stressful life
can result in various concerns not alone at an individual level but also
at familial and societal levels. Stress is a predisposing factor for many health issues like hypertension, cardiac diseases, anxiety, depression and other psychological concerns. Stressed people
do not give much time to their families and therefore
affect other family members and young kids too. According to
a report from NDH Hospital, New Delhi, in the year 2021, there was a surge of almost 20% of cases who were admitted with elevated BP after a stressful incident at work. Moreover
, it reduces a person's work efficiency and therefore
productivity of a company and subsequently
affects the economic growth of a country.
While
people
can not go back to old times to bring their happiness, but certainly can make a change to have a peaceful life
. It is important to have personal time, family moments and work life
separate and should not mix business meetings with friends and family events. Adoption of yoga and meditation is another approach to staying healthy. Furthermore
, considering stress as a major concern in the present age, the Indian government in agreement with other nations launched an "International Yoga Day" in 2015, to bring awareness and promotion of personal health.
In conclusion, stressful life
has severe implications on well-being and social well-being, however
, it can be overcome with the government and independent institutes initiation of mindfulness programs and other measures.Submitted by sonyasharma01 on
