Stress - Biggest Curse of Modern Lifestyle

Modern life is fast and competitive. Ambition is  buzzword and everyone is looking for it. In this competitive life everyone looks after money, fame and high position. In this frictional competition, man forgets about his or her health and runs after money. This causes entire rumble in one's life as it is rightly said that that "health is wealth". If you are healthy then you can definitely look after your goals, ambitions etc.

Stress can be defined as anxiety syndrome due to work pressure. Emotional, mental, physical and social tensions lead to stress. In the lure of money one gets worked up. This leads to several problems and ultimately leads to stress. One also gets stressed when he works beyond his limits. A normal worker was informed about the overtime charges in his office. Daily he used to work for 10 hrs that is 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM but now due to lure of money he worked  for 16 hrs that is from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This had lot of troubles in his life. His wife and children enraged on him. Stress began as head aches. He used to get rid of them by pills but from beginning he took one pill, the two and so on. This had several reactions. His doctor earned a lot from him. Ultimately he developed amnesia(a state where a person forgets everything including his wife, children, and in the ultimate stage he forgets himself.)and then he died. Stress can also take such horrifying form.

The modern life is pretty mechanical. The only way to throw off the villain of stress is to get refreshed and have some physical and mental exercise. Sports is the best way to cure stress. Yoga does a miracle by removing the devil of stress. It keeps mind quite and healthy and tones each and every part of body. Meditation works wonders. Mental tensions and stress is removed by meditation. Hasty life leads to several problems. One doesn't get time to have a balanced meal. One gets addicted to wrong food habits like drinking the cups of coffee every minute, intake of alcoholic drinks etc. They think that this helps to be away from stress. This is wrong. Being drunk, doesn't help you from being away from stress. It kills you. A drunkard faces several social, physical and mental problems.

A couch potato life style or being confined to chair leads to obesity and stress. Regular holidays and some relaxation and leisure from hasty schedules is a mantra for stress free life. One should have jolly nature and fruitful hobby to beat stress.

As a child feels relaxation in his mothers lap, man must spend time in relaxing in the soothing and tranquil laps of mother nature.
