The February contest #2 by sduttaskitchen|Modern lifestyle and its side effects!

Dear friends, modern lifestyle has changed our daily life. Life has become faster and more competitive. Now technology is everywhere and expectations are increasing. Sometimes we feel proud of this progress but sometimes we feel tired too. This topic made me think deeply about how our habits are changing and how children are growing in this environment.

Modern lifestyle is changing people very fast. Everything is quick now. Fast food, fast internet and fast success. But inside, people are becoming tired. I have seen many parents always busy on phone and work. Even children are busy with screens. This lifestyle is giving comfort but also stress.
One side effect is mental pressure. People compare their life with others on social media. I also felt this sometimes. When I see others success posts, I feel behind. This creates anxiety slowly.
Another side effect is health problems. Junk food and less physical activity make body weak. Children prefer mobile games instead of outdoor play.

Family time is also reducing. Everyone is together physically but mentally somewhere else.
So modern life gives facilities but it also brings stress, loneliness and health issues in case of not balanced.

Yes, I strong believe we should think before adopting any new habit. Every new trend is not good for us. Sometimes we follow others without thinking. For example, many people wake up at 4 am because successful people say so. I once tried this habit without proper planning. I felt tired whole day because my sleep was incomplete. Then I understood that every habit must match our lifestyle.
We should think about health time and mental peace before adopting anything new. Some habit look good online but are not good in real life.

If we think carefully, we avoid regret later. New habits should improve life not create pressure.
So yes I agree this factors like health routine and personal limits is very important. Every person is different, so habits should also be personal.

I enjoy my childhood very much. So Yes I strongly believe childhood should be enjoy. This is very important for emotional and mental health. Nowadays mostly parents put much pressure on child. School tuition sports and extra classes. Children get tired but cannot say anything.
I have seen a child in my area. He was always busy with studies and coaching. He had no time to play. Slowly he became quiet and depress.
Childhood is time to play explore and make mistakes. With play children learn social skills. They learn sharing, patience and teamwork. If we take away their fun time, we also take away their confidence.

Study is important but balance is more important. A happy child can grow into healthy adult. So yes enjoying childhood is not waste of time. It is foundation of strong personality.
