The best ways of reducing the stress People have different ways of escaping the stress and difficulties of modern life. Some read; some exercise; others work in their gardens. What do you think are the best ways of reducing stress? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nowadays, people face with a lot of stress. Everyday work can be very monotonous and escaping this routine can be hard. As far as I’m concerned, I assert that reading a book, watching a movie, and going in for sports can help to reduce the stress. Whenever I am frustrated or had a bad day, I read a book. I prefer classical books like ‘Martin Eden” of Jack London. I like this fiction book because the main character of the book, Martin Eden, deals with a lot of problem. These problems are more difficult than mine. And what does Martin? He never gives up. He struggles every day and eventually becomes a famous writer. Then, I think that I can achieve my goal and I am able to overcome my difficulties. The second thing that I do to avoid the stress is watching a movie. For instance, when I’m tired and I came from university after lots of studying, I turn my laptop on, lie back, and enjoy my favorite movie ‘Back to the future”. It’s about time travelling and it’s really riveting. I relax and have good sleep that night. Next day I am ready to “hit the books” again. Finally, I go in for sports to get my mind off problems. I used to play football when I studied at school. Now, I am into swimming and I swim two times a week. Swimming makes me calm and there is no thoughts in my head while I am swimming. In addition, I learn how to swim breaststroke, killing two birds with one stone. To sum up, I believe that aforementioned reasons are the best ways of reducing stress in modern life.
