Research has shown that the rate of depression, stress, and anxiety has been on the rise among the youths of our generation. It seems our generation are becoming mentally stressed out than our forefathers ever did.
Economical crises and Technological advancements have been the major causes of this high rate of depression, because with our technological devices, we get daily news about wars and economical crises, making us loose our minds and remain afraid.
As technological advancements continue to evolve, we have found ways to stay balanced and fight the stress of life. We now use technology devices to relax and chill out, as this has proven to be a very reliever of stress.
For me, I have got some apps and softwares that usually keeps my mind, soul, and body together. Whenever I am stressed out of the worries of life, I just don't waste time to go these apps and just like magic, I always feel better after spending time on these apps. I have many applications that hep me rewind, bit am going to be sharing two categories of such apps in this piece.
- GAMES
Ah, what would I have done without some interesting games on my app lists? Ranging from online games, solo games, and multiplayer games, I have been using games to relax my mind from childhood. I still remembered when I was little and had no phone, I would always persuade my elder brother who has game on his phone to give me his phone to play games.
When I finally got my smartphone, it was gaming all day long. Whenever I would feel a little bored I won't hesitate to download the latest version of a wrestling game or you might find me playing mortal combat. Have you heard of the game called Mini Militia? This game made me to sleep outside our house for the first time in my life. It's a multiplayer game that can be played by multiple players, and it's very addictive, even to the extend of making me play it with friends until it was passed midnight and I was locked outside.
Apart from some of these multiplayer games with friends, I play solo football games whenever I want to relief myself of the stress of society or work. I enjoy playing PES games, because they are very unpredictable, every match is flexible and entertaining.

As you can see on the image above, the graphics of each player was designed to make the game more realistic to fans. And to make it even more interesting, I can but and sell football players in this game, helping me to create the perfect dream team for myself. For instance, I bought Robert Lewandowski and Christiano Ronaldo into my team, making me very dangerous unbeatable, lol.
Games have been my number 1 go-to categories of application whenever the stress of work overwhelms me. The more unpredictable a game is, the more interesting I perceive it to be, as I would explore it and forget my boredom.
- MULTIMEDIA
I said multimedia because this involves both sounds (music) and videos. I am a very big fan of Sabinus comedy and so if I am not playing games to chill out and relax, I am watching short comedy clips from some very funny comedians we have in the country (Oga Sabinus especially).
They say laughter is the best medicine to our souls and I completely agree with that. Sometimes whenever I am at work, there's always a high tendency that my boss would get me angry. There was a particular incident that happened last week that almost made me shouted back at my boss, bit after the fight, I brought out my phone watched some comedy videos and I found myself excited as the day's work continued.
Music on the other hand is something I can't do without too, because the melody and lyrics of a good song speaks to my soul, and comforts me when am at my lowest. So technology isn't that harmful after all, as we tend to unwind regular with this some of these technological devices.
