STRESS TO KILL STRESS

-

Stress- the word itself has so much stress in it when you just pronounce or write with so many 's' in it.  Everyone in their life at some point or other has stressed. It is not uncommon to have experienced stress in life; however, the problem arises when we do not know how to deal with it.

The problem is actually not the problem at all but not finding a solution to it is. If we work, if we compete, if we dream or just actually think - there will be stress at some point.  There is  no need to run away from it or get scared by it.  The only thing required is to find a way out of this stress.  At no point in time, should it overpower us. Stress has been there since the existence of mankind but it has gathered more strength now due to the way the world is changing at a jet speed.

Stress to kill stress- as the heading says would be something like this

S- Sympathize yourself in a difficult situation. Show concern and love to YOURSELF.

T- Trust yourself like you would your loved ones in time of difficulty.  Give yourself time, space and  opportunity to find the solution. Trust that you are going to find a solution for sure and will be out of this junk definitely!

R-Remind yourself that you are not alone.  Everyone in this world has gone through awkward and difficult situations.  There is no need to panic.  This time will too pass.

E- Enjoy life.  Problems are just a trivial part of this beautiful life we have been gifted.  Keep moving.  Let not these small things stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest.  There should be no regrets when you turn back and look at your life years later.

S- Smile.  Smile often. Find reasons to smile.  Meet up old friends. Visit your old school.  Have a lunch with colleagues.  Just walk in the lap of nature.  Go for a vacation with your dear one.  Spend time with parents.  Plan a surprise for your family. Restart your lost hobbies. There can be a hundred reasons to make you smile.  You just have to try.

S- Stack up.  Stack up on friends. Friends at every point in life, at every age, everywhere you go.  Stack them up and among them have a few ones - the 3 a.m. friends.  The ones you can rely on and will be available for you anytime.  

This much would suffice.  Let's not run away or hide but face our stress factors with grace. Have faith - it is going to pass away soon.

Regards

Mind and Body

 Health is Wealth - a very old saying that is true to the core. Long back, health meant only Physical wellbeing, but slowly we discovered that Health is also mental well-being and that the mind and body are deeply connected. I have met different types of people - few exist in our families itself. However let me be specific on what criteria am I classifying these people. This time, our classification is based on how they react on being sick. We have type 1 - who believe that body is the greatest healer and it heals with time. There are type 2 - who will wait and watch and will get help only if things worsen. There is type 3 - who will get worried on the warning sign and will immediately seek help. I belong to the type 3, not because being unwell scares me, but I know being a mother, sister, wife, employee and many others, I can't afford to be unwell. So there is no time to experiment. On one such occasion, I decided to find a homeopathic solution to my problems. An appointment fixed...

Uncertainty

Our life is full of ups and downs, twists and  turns no less than a popular daily soap on television. Many times we all wished if only we knew what is to happen in future - things could have been better. A time when there was something as little as an unexpected rain to something that could be life changing like someone's unprecedented illness, etc we have wished that only if we knew it. Knowing something in advance is to be certain about something. If we believe in the Almighty - that is we believe that there is some power which governs us all, then we have also known through various stories and folklores that this power has always prevented us from knowing the future. If he is our creator and the birth giver of this entire universe, we must be sure that he cannot do anything against our good. So then, why this restriction? There are many stories about this. One in which, when God completed making his best creation- Man, he was so happy that he asked Man to ask for a boon. As gree...

Music

  Words may not be enough to speak about this universal language - MUSIC. Not exaggerated, it is a medium of connection between all living beings even plants. There have been experiments providing proofs of plants growing better and patients healing faster with this magic called music. Not only physical but music has an effect mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. May be that's why when humans tried to connect with the Almighty sang hymns and prayers. What more can one ask for from this magical potion that nourishes mind, body and soul. Often one has observed that when sad you feel to listen to music that matches your sadness, and when happy, we switch to joyful ones. However, if you wish to use this music as a remedy try the vice versa. If sad, listen to joyful chirpy music and see how it elevates your mood. Loads of work - switch on some favourite music and work would be done with ease. Whatever I said so far must have been known to many. However, this topic came to my mind...
