Are you under Stress too ?

Are you under Stress too ?

( Not talking about the 'stress and strain' of Physics here! )

...

As I am stepping on the next steps of my ladder, I realized that every person in this world is in tension, under stress. Few are genuinely tensed, some fake to be and some just make up something out of nothing they know. Phew!

In the modern era, people share their sorrows through stories and statuses on social media and I don't know what else more. And when I see such sad statuses, I kinda feel dark and dire about their situation. I want to help them but I am afraid to invade their privacy, so I stop but my monkey mind doesn't.  Such images...

I am fed up with seeing all such images...let's change it to this...

😂😂😂😂

...But first, share your problems with your parents 😇 ... coz then you won't even remember what your problem was... THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

...Just a random joke 😂😂

"Laughter is the best medicine and prayer is the best remedy"

...

Whenever I am in tension or dilemma, I just remember these words from Gurbani

" ਨਾਨਕ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਤਿਸ ਹੀ ਹੇਇ ॥ "

nānak chintā mat karaho chintā tis hī hēi . 

O Nanak, don't be worried; Waheguru will worry for you.

...and I get relieved that Waheguru Ji is there for me. Why am I worrying then?  If the Supreme Soul has sent me here, He has sent me with a purpose and He will help me every time. He will never leave me alone. I keep my worries, sorrows, and tensions in His feet. He will change everything to good. He is the one who worries for every single being on this Earth so we should dare not doubt His powers and abilities.

Just keep that line in your mind and be stress-free. 

Believe me! It works. It always helps me. Just keep faith in God and everything will be alright.

Remember...

The bacteria living for 20 minutes has no tension,

The plants in the desert have no tension,

The small fish gonna be preyed on has no tension,

The soldiers on the frontline deny tension,

The chicken in the coop waiting for death has no tension,

The playful street dog has no tension,

The frolicsome squirrel has no tension,

SO YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE NO TENSION

Stop irritating your mind yaar. Live your life freely and happily, after all, you just have some thousand weekends.

Spend time with yourself. Talk to your inner being (my family says I do that at night also - talking to myself while sleeping 😂). Smile and laugh alone once. Let the world say you are mad. Yes, you are! Yes, I am!

And when you do such self-therapy, you become an even better version of yourself, a happier you.

So if such mental stress is invaluable, why keep it with you? Throw it away, burn it, slash it and keep moving. 

I read a beautiful quote today in the morning, " Try to conquer minds with your good personality for a good reason because not even Alexander, 'the great' could take with him what he conquered, the world and its tensions."

What do you think? Tell me down there ⤵

Have a great and 'stress-free' day!

Again a random joke! 😂 

Few effective ways to reduce your stress :

1) Talk about it to a loved one who you trust. She/he could be your parent, your sister, your brother, your best friend, or even your pet,

2) Write a diary. Write whatever you feel in a diary every day. Believe me, I do that and it relieves me. Writing poems is my stress buster. Discover yours.

3) Time heals. Yes, over time your mind will eventually force you to forget that thing that gives you tension.

4) Connect with God. Just remember when no one is standing with you on Earth, God will hold your hand and lead.

5) Listen to music. Music is the best healer. It tells the stories of millions like you who have suffered from similar problems but rose above them because they were determined to do so.

6) Never think about taking any wrong step. You might think that the world doesn't need you but in fact, every single person on this Earth is born with a purpose. Just think what a disgrace you will be if you deny this opportunity given to you by God.

7) Engage in fun activities that you love. The activities can be cooking baking, gardening, playing, writing, dancing, singing, anything good on this Earth! When you do something you love, then you don't even realize that time has passed. Never remain free in such situations because a free mind attracts negative thoughts.

8) Talk to me. Yes! You can share your problems with me but only on chat because then I will be able to feel you and might be able to help you as well. (On call, while talking, I forget words na). Don't worry, I am a good secret keeper and most importantly I am a writer. I understand feelings. When anyone cries, it hurts me to the core, my eyes too start watering involuntarily and people say it's fake. I have a hard time making them believe this that's why I hate going out, that's why I love to stay in my room and write poems, that's why I am an introvert and you can trust me because I don't like talking verbally to many people. C'mon dude, let us all be healthy physically and mentally! 😊😇
