How to have less stressful life?
-
Too much stress in Singapore
I want a less stressful country
But this would be an impossible dream as the PAP will continue to win elections and continue with their old policies...........so the stress will continue........
But do you actually enjoy your life with the stress? (I suspect this is the case with people here.......happily living like rats in the rat race) -
i figure, the stresses only happen if you put them on yourself
do you really need a condominium? do you really need your children to be in the best schools? do you really need all that?
if you figure that you need all that, you could be living anywhere on God's earth and you'll still be stressed...
don't blame the gabrament for things that you can change.. that is, your own life...
lose the stress.. take a look at your own lifestyle first.. -
Yeah i agree too, a lot of the stress we experience is self-inflicted. The more wants we have, the more disappointment, sorrow and stress we experience when we could not fulfill all those wants.Originally posted by the Bear:i figure, the stresses only happen if you put them on yourself

Let me see;
I think life, cannot be be totally VOID of any stress. Actually, I understand that there two kinds of stress - good stress (motivational/inspirational/and drive oriented), and bad stress (inhibitive/restrictive/and destructive).
Stress of either kind, produces adrenaline in our blood stream, hence, prolong high levels of adrenaline over long period of time, can lead to all kinds of medical conditions - number one being cancer.
The key here then is striking that balance.
I know it's much easier said than done, I myself am prone to being carried away by work-stress totally and forgetting that I possess a mortal physical body.
But as pointed out by quite a few in here, yes, the more material properties and status you want in life (in Singapore and everywhere esle), the more stress you shall incur. Striking a balance then in itself, is also stressful.
So ultimately, there's a "price" everyone has to pay for the KIND of life one chooses to live. But then again, depending on the society one lives in, such as fast-paced and time-short Singapore, the level of stress is a default factor for all growing up and living in Singapore.
Our economical, commercial, and social machinery here is such that we cannot change or reverse, as our economic vibrancy is TOTALLY dependant on it. -
well..
lifes like carrying a sack, and for every grudge/stress/pressure you have, you add one moreas you have more and more potatos, the sack becomes heavier, and it becomes harder to move each time. there will be a limit where
1. the sack breaks
2. you get too tired and stop
3. its filled to the brim and you cannot add anymore -

In Singapore, the underlying cause of stress is high land cost. By tweaking land valuation policies, land can be a lot cheaper, which I believe will improve the stress situation.
High land cost means longer cost recovery, higher breakeven, high rentals= requiring larger turnover to breakeven.
Other countries, can escape to the countryside, but in Sg, even the rural areas are assessed at high rates. Govt can do a lot more in this area. -
