Can anyone helping me find the reasons for the tensions and stress caused due to modern lifestyle?

Answer 1

You don't get out much, do you?

Answer 2

Can I ask how old you are and what your typical day is?

Personally, I'm 23 and have been in the "real world" for about two years now. It was definitely an adjustment. I always thought that I would be the kind of person that could work, work, work and not be bothered by stress. That changed quickly when I had a 9-5 job, 15-minute lunch breaks and overtime kicked in.

It's especially tough when you're a 20-something professional, but it's a big adjustment. Especially in this modern world of fast-food, 6-day works weeks or 70 hour work weeks. I was really frustrated with that at first because I didn't want to spend my entire life consumed by work, but this kind of society demands that for.

The best thing you can do is find your own way of relaxing. I sometimes do Yoga and Pilates, or just take a bubble bath. Sometimes I vent to my boyfriend for an hour about my stupid day. Sometimes I go workout. It depends on what works for you, and what you think you need at the time.

Other than that, just make sure you're always making choices that make YOU happy. Don't ever compromise your own well-being and happiness for something you're not comfortable with, or you know you will be miserable doing.

Answer 3

The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are and that which you long to become.

You desire to become something. Tension means that you are not pleased with what you are, and you long to be what you are not. Tension is created between these two. What you desire to become is irrelevant. If you want to become wealthy, famous, powerful, or even if you want to be free, liberated, to be divine, immortal, even if you long for salvation, moksha, then too the tension will be there.

Anything that is desired as something to be fulfilled in the future, against you as you are, creates tension. The more impossible the ideal is, the more tension there is bound to be. So a person who is a materialist is ordinarily not so tense as one who is religious, because the religious person is longing for the impossible, for the far-off. The distance is so great that only a great tension can fill the gap.

Tension means a gap between what you are and what you want to be. If the gap is great, the tension will be great. If the gap is small, the tension will be small. And if there is no gap at all, it means you are satisfied with what you are. In other words, you do not long to be anything other than what you are. Then your mind exists in the moment. There is nothing to be tense about

Answer 4

Well, what's the cause of your stress? Are you working more than one job or something?

Are you religious?

There's a quote my church sometimes puts on the church sign out front: "If you are too busy for God, you are too busy!" Try going to church (I personally recomend Independant Fundamental Baptist churches). It been scientifically proven that people who go to church are less likely to die of a heart attack, and are less affected by stress.

Are you getting a good and healthy diet?

Your B vitamin levels can get burned up a lot faster when you are stressed, you may need to supplement your diet with a good B complex. I would recommed a time released B complex tablet to help prevent stomach upset.

I would also recommend magnesium and calcium. Both help to relax the muscles and in turn help you to relax and sleep good. Magnesium can also help calm the stomach.

Ultimately though, the hottest flame burns its fuel the fastest, and taking life at break neck speeds will pass you by a whole lot quicker! Slow down! Take the time to enjoy the life around you, you only get one go at it!

Answer 5

It is simple really. People have forgotten family values and what moral code is. People have used all of this technology and have become desensitized to one another and have become rude and uncaring to each other. Women work outside of the home and no longer raise their own children, fathers don't stick around long enough to teach their sons how to be good productive men and women don't teach their daughters how to be real women, and undisciplined children turn into untrained, unhealthy adults, men cheat on their wives because it is conveinient, women cheat on their husbands because they want it all, the media floods immorality which makes it all seem ok and like sheep everyone falls right in line because some pervert portrays these things as normal. What ever happend to family time? What happend to camping trips? or sitting around the dinner table and talking with your spouse without the tv or computer? What happend to life without that stupid cell phone? What ever happend to genuine conversation between men and women or people of the same sex without all of the contempt that we carry around? People have forgotten what it means to be family and community, forgotten what it means to have compassion for one another. It's sad really. It is the immoral behavior that destroys families that is causing the tensions and stresses in modern society. No one is happy with the way things are headed but no one is willing to stand up and change it because they are to hooked on that cell phone, or downloading porn, or cannot imagine giving up the job to stay at home to raise the kids that they made. Women need to go home and take care of their men and their children and men need to go home and take care of their children and their wives. If we all started to focus more on home instead of how much more we could have we wouldn't be so miserly. That is JMO.

Answer 6

Well, we walk around with our cell phones so we are always accessible and rarely have down-time. We constantly are on the go and do not get enough sleep.

Our cable, internet and home telephone was out for a day and I got so much done in my house because of no distractions.

We try to do too much in 24 hours.

Answer 7

Reo, that's not very constructive, that's destructive. Is it your point and mission to help others feel miserable? If so, you're doing a good job.

To answer your question - are you talking about apprehension and/or agorophobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agorophobia )?

If that's the case, seek a CONVENTIONAL doctor of psychology to help! Remember, you're NOT in this alone! There are many people with that problem.
