In modern times people under more stress than ever this has a

negative impact on their well-being.

State some of the causes and suggest possible solutions.

It is true that many people feel more stress nowadays than they used to ,
and this is leading to a general decline in people's mental health. While
this is a serious problem, it can be solved by taking up a hobby.

The main cause of stress is that society is highly competitive and people
under intense pressure to succeed. The unstable child market has
contributed to making people think that they will lose their jobs if they
cannot compete. Furthermore, society demands constant self-development
in order to remain successful. As a result people experience a high degree
of tension and pressure of work which has an extremely negative effect on
their health. In fact, in a recent survey conducted on workers in Korea over
70% of those which and stated that they are under intense emotional strain
because of this is social pressure to remain competitive.

However there are solutions to this problem. One of the ways to deal
with the stress is to find a hobby that allows one to forget the pressures one
faces in professional life. A recreational activity can help people stop
thinking about their worries and unwind. In addition, doing activities with
friends can be particularly effective means of alleviating work-related
stress. For example, biking clubs have recently become extremely popular
in Seoul. People who try and claim that cycling with a group of like-minded
people helps to revitalise them both physically and mentally. The positive
energy they generate from this hobby helps them cope with work related
anxiety.

To sum up, it is clear that intense pressure to succeed is generating high

levels of stress, which is harmful to people’s health. Nevertheless the
issue can be resolved by finding a hobby one can enjoy.
