Unfortunately, most people are not aware of stress management techniques or the effects of stress in general, and once they get stuck in a stressful state of mind or state of life, they find it hard to change.
What does society say about stress? The advice of most people is to endure stress and just hope it will pass. Unfortunately, most situations don't change unless you change them. People also spend their time and energy on finding scapegoats to shift blame and responsibility on - even if you blame your troubles on the world, it won't resolve your stress.
The pressures of global life only get stronger. Stress education can help people learn how to approach and deal with these pressures. Both formal and informal efforts should be made to help people understand their own psychological and emotional processes - advising to endure stress just doesn't cut it.
The common components of stress are external pressures and internal conflict and confusion. Changing external pressures is difficult and requires a coordinated effort, but aiming for self-discipline and internal clarity is something everyone is able to do.
Educate yourself and pass your insights to others.
