British mentality compared to Spanish.
by Znethru @ 2008-03-28 - 00:15:45

We are far more competitive over here than in Spain. Competition of this nature causes larger gaps between real or perceived success and failure.

We are all under more stress over here because of this.

I am not saying that we can instantly adopt the Spanish (relaxed, more laid-back & chilled) lifestyle, but it's worth keeping in mind that life as we experience it in the UK is not the only choice!

I am concerned on this blog with the psychological p.o.v. of everyday life and how it affects you and me (particularly me!) I am trying to reduce my own personal stress levels and also endeavour not to pile stress on to other people as I go about my business.

I agree, partially.English are sickly competitive. Fact.

I' not spanish, but I know for a fact that it's a misconception calling them lazy. They are just as hardworking.
More relaxed and chilled, maybe.
I blame the lack of sun and the lack of places to go and chill out in England.

It is indeed a misconception to call them lazy and I would never dream of suggesting such a thing.

Now, the sun, is that the large yellow sphere that I remember from the mid-1980's?

I decided to live my life with less stress a few years ago and have never looked back. It's a shame that those around me see it as a sign of laziness and criticise me for it which, ironically, stresses me. :-/

This is all pretty interesting stuff. Due to the lateness of the hour though, we will have to continue with our thoughts on this matter on the morrow.

Ah, thankyou Zne.

I believe competition is rooted in our animal side and not conducive to development of the soul.

Being true to yourself seems important where stress is concerned.
