It is the environment around you that decides your mental frame: peaceful or stressed.
When a commute to office and back home is a breeze, you feel relaxed. If you are burdened with loans, your mind feels the pressure. A safe ambience brings a sense of relief, while living in a strife-torn zone induces tension.
There are many cities which leave you unnerved and some which will make you calm and composed.
The United Kingdom-based dry cleaning and laundry service Zipjet recently conducted a study to find out the least stressful cities in the world. Abu Dhabi got a high ranking and was placed at 19, while Dubai bagged the 32nd spot in the survey.
The study analyzed 500 locations worldwide based on these factors: pollution, traffic levels, public transport, percentage of green spaces, financial status of citizens including debt levels, physical and mental health and the hours of sunlight the city gets per year.
