When I'm talking about stress, you please make sure its the stress which the humans feel or suffer.
Recently when I was in a conversation with my friend, my dear friend said that:"I'm in stress and frustrated''.As most of you,I too did the same thing by asking Why?.The reply from my friend made me feel like the world is too small and things which are not so important can also become the deadly obstacles and crush your body and brain."This is what I felt and I don't want to hurt the sentiments of anyone because sometimes small problems may look big".And my friend's next reply gave me the answer.Its the "situation".Situations act as a magnifier in this scenario.Some situations will make you see small problems as big.
The above kind of situations are mostly embedded with problems.That's their character.Some of you may try to solve them, some avoid and some want to escape.My suggestion for all of you who wants to escape problems is:
"The best way to escape a problem is to solve it".So that it doesn't arise again.And sometimes its better to avoid some problems.You may think that small and simple problems can be solved with ease but what about the big ones?
This beautiful quote will answer for you:
"If your problem is as big as a ship, never forget that your blessings are as wide as an ocean".
In this new year I wish all of you will gain immense strength to solve your problems and open your wings to fly a beautiful flight in your life.
Now let us get into the actual stuff:The Stress.
The first thing to know about is:What is Stress?
A good and simple definition which I found is as follows, Stress is your body's way of response to any kind of demand or threat.
Next question:Does stress really exist?
This is the most discussed question.
According to me there is no stress, its only a perception and your feelings that make you are in stress.And this has been my answer and advice for all those who used to say me that they are feeling stressed.Most of you may not agree with me.
The reason behind my opinion is that stress doesn't have a particular symptom and there is no medicine to to cure stress,just an advice.When we feel pain we call it stress, sometimes pain.When we feel discomfort we call it stress sometimes.We call it stress when we feel exhausted sometimes.Many iconic and eminent personalities don't use the word stress instead they go for exhaustion or pain or so on.So the existence of stress depends on your perception.
The next point for discussion is:Whether its good or bad?
It is said that stress can be caused by both good and bad experiences.And the effects of it is also of two types:good and bad.If you consider it to be good-it surely helps you out.
Next question:What are the causes of stress?
The factors that cause stress are known as stressors which are of two types:-internal and external.
EXTERNAL CAUSES
- Manager's pressure
- Financial problems
- Being too busy
- Relationship difficulties and so on...
INTERNAL CAUSES
- Negative self talk
- Rigid thinking
- Pessimism.
The next question is:
What gifts does stress offer you?
Stress offers you both good and bad.It depends on how you consider to take it.
GOOD:
Stress in small doses has many advantages.It can help you meet your daily challenges and take some bold decisions which will bring you name and fame.It keeps us accountable for our actions.It motivates and inspires you to become a good citizen when you account stress in a positive way.
BAD:
Emotional stress that stays around for weeks or months can weaken the immune system and cause high blood pressure, fatigue, depression, and other heart diseases.
The last and the most important one:How to handle stress?
There are many ways to handle stress without consulting any Doctor.I'll tell you some of that many which will help you in handling stress.They are as follows:
- Look at stress in a more proactive way rather than reacting to it.
- Be optimistic, think that whatever happens -happens for good.
- As you all know that ancient Hindus had solutions for every problem.They came up with yoga to handle stress. Asanas like Pranayama and Shavasana can help you out.Even a simple meditation or deep breathing is also enough sometimes.
- Talking or communicating with others like friends and family can also help you relieve stress.
- Have a good diet and take rest regularly.
The best thing we can do is-should consider stress is just a perception.The other best thing is that if it exists-its good for us, as we have already discussed stress can bring out the hidden talent in you.I hope this article gave you a brief knowledge about stress and shown ways about how to control it.If you like this article,share it with your friends and circles to help them handle stress and become stronger.
