Stress : Lighten and Brighten-Formula

Stress

Lighten and Brighten-Formula


Lighten your body and enlighten you mind

 

Railways and other passenger carriers always insist that the passengers should travel with the minimum luggage for the simple reason that it provides more mobility, comfort to passengers and help the railway staff to keep the coach clean and perform their other duties. It also helps better circulation of air and effective air conditioning system. We must apply the same concept to our dwelling, keep it clear of the clutter - the things we have not used for years together and sometimes for decades together - the dwelling would look clean, more spacious, orderly, free of insects, lizards and with better ambience for family members as well as the guests; even otherwise cleanliness is loved by all. Throw out the clutter, stress too.

 

 “Outer order contributes to inner calm.” —Gretchen Rubin

 

A place for everything and everything in its place.”

Obesity, in the common man’s language, means the state of being well above one's normal body weight. What is the normal body weight; most widely accepted norms are 50/45.5 Kg + 2.3 Kg per inch above five feet of height for male and female respectively. Irrespective of the technical details of weight and BMI, over weight is the cause of number of diseases like hypertension, diabetes, breathing problems, asthma, osteoarthritis, gallbladder problems,

 etcetera. Obesity is mother of all diseases, kill it before it kills you. It reduce mobility and also the romance activity – unliked by every human being; as the theory is youth comes; never goes, increases the danger of falling from upper berth in train, face accusing eyes in a public bus, getting stuck in economy seat of aeroplane. Those who are overweight must shade extra weight that will make them energetic, swift, smart, handsome and beautiful too, lesser expense on clothes with easy availability of the model skin fit clothes and lessor chances of above diseases. Reduce your weight to be free from stress. 

 

Most of us continue to drink cold drinks, tea, coffee, milk, energy drinks, shakes, fruit juice, mock drinks, yoghurt, and many add to it alcohol in the evening, some during day too, in addition to good three meals a day plus munching so much of sweets, savoury snacks and chocolates. Nobody counts the calories nor is bothered about the quantity, quality of intake and also the harmony between various contents added to the belly. We are, in fact, very ruthless and indisciplined with our stomach- the master but we treat it like a servant, stuff it with all the nonsense. If one could see the mixture one’s stomach has to handle, he will not eat anything for the next one week. Result is constipation, loose motion, acidity, gas, stomach pain, upset intestines, nausea, vomiting like sensation are common. Nothing much is required to be done except to be ruthless without mercy with self-denial for taste, tongue and greed. Both eating should always be less than the hunger and timely. It is better to skip when it is excessively late; do not disturb the system so late at night and so on. Similarly easing out should be regular and complete. If it does not happen, it is a cause of many diseases not only of stomach and intestines but also the heart and pancreas, mood swings and anxiety. Make sure that this happens complete, quick and regular so that the system remain fresh and vibrant and you stress free glowing.

 

We should keep our engagements limited and should be choosy as whom to meet, that would provide much time for self, family, loved ones, parents and to take care of problems both short time as well as the long term goals. Internet a gift to humanity has given us mobility without moving at all. We can remain in touch with everybody with whom we like; it is like Hindu Gods whose movement system was so strong that they could appear at any time at any place and this is true of them even today; as they are beyond space and time. Corona that way is a blessing in disguise; has taught the human beings everywhere how to carry on life meeting the minimum number of people, minimizing needs and staying at home. This will also reduce unnecessary entanglement in the affairs of others and hence a contributor to remain free from issues, anxiety and stress as well.

 

Free time is a luxury a few get and a time comes when everybody has that asset in ample. If one has free time even a few minutes: as you are retired; or doing your vocation from home, that times goes waste if not utilized for something even for leisure. Many people these days join time management trainings to learn how to use the spare time purposefully and creatively. Waste time is a loss for the individual as well as the group to which he belongs ultimately to the humanity. If all human being use their waste time with a purpose there would be no poverty or disease in this world. Since we live a social system which gives many good things to its citizens so the spare time, if any, should be used for welfare of the people around even for your loved ones and social cause. If nothing we should help the less advantageous people near like our helps, to carry one their life more peaceful and purposefully, this will provide one feeling of satisfaction of having returned to the society and create a feeling among others that they are being looked after. Both would have less stress more satisfaction.

 

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.

 

                                                                 Benjamin Franklin

 

Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.                                           Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Whenever one has to go to a new place, attend some ceremony for the first time, meet somebody, do something for the first time, posted to a new branch or a new portfolio, some people are always found lacking in some information, aggressively pleading having never done before, ignorant about the protocol and the etiquettes to be observed; this creates stress with sensitive people. One must gather information, details, timings, consequences of intended activity to avoid awkward situations, unnecessary moments of stress and sometimes embarrassing too. Never be afraid, learn, search, gather, everybody starts with a pebble before he could move a mountain, everybody starts by doing for the first time. It is bad excuse to say have never done before.  Enlighten beforehand, be smart and stress free.  

 

Human mind is such a wonderful gift of the Lord that it is always working; it is something different from the flesh and bones the body is made of. It is not even the brain. It  takes one to the green pastures, valleys, mountains, beaches, dance parties, rave parties, honey moon, makes one to fly high in the skies and meet the Lord and what not; it  also makes one to weep, recollect the bad memories, irritates the mood and can also take you to drains. When the Lord has given us such a wonderful thing then use it for one’s own benefit. Recollect the good moments, be creative with positive thoughts, throw away the bad thoughts as bad dreams, do not go after irritants, leave where they were and be happy and stress free.

 

Every human being is reservoir of knowledge even if he has not obtained any formal education, my mother was one such person, she was expert in correcting the sprains of ankle and wrists she performed it free and always felt happy to do. Life is a great teacher, it teaches where education system fails to part with, beyond the system, this created by nature even for animals, it is excellent and extraordinary. Knowledge is lot of labour and sacrifices. If you have any knowledge, skill, expertise, or a God’s gift distribute it free for the benefit of others, it will sharpen your wisdom, understanding, prudence, give you solace and satisfaction, earn for you respect, regards and the blessing of those who are relieved of pain. Be generous and be stress free.

 

Ego-the idea or opinion that one has of himself especially the level of ability, intelligence, confidence and importance as a person: he considers himself superior-where as those who consider themselves above others in any respect are suffering from inferiority complex. It is assertion of “I &Me”, making the doer supreme instead of the action-Lord says it is the action that is important not the doer. In that sense ego is a negative trait. If you have that in any number, quantity, manner, throw it away: nobody can convince a person about this trait but a pure soul can. The reward would be enormous - respect, regard, love, affection, grace and what not: a change of attitude and outlook above all happiness stress-free.

 

Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna Ke Har Taqdeer Se Pehle

Khuda Bande Se Khud Puche, Bata Teri Raza Kya Hai

Meaning

 

Develop the self so that before every decree

God will ascertain from you: “What is your wish?”

Allama Iqbal

 

Take your soul up to the higher levels of consciousness. Go to lap of Almighty. Make a habit to pay your obeisance to the Almighty the way you like best suited to you no rituals only total surrender. Feel presence of the God in and around you and in every fate, task, advantage, loss, coming to one’s way and be happy and stress free.

 

Massage the rubbing and kneading of muscles and joints of the body with the hands, especially to relieve tension or pain. It is a system of curing the pains and sprains, the world over particularly used in India more frequently by wrestlers.  It relaxes body, calms nerves, stretches connective tissue, relieves tired and aching muscles, improves blood circulation, reduces swelling, and

improves skin glow. In addition it promotes sleep, enhances self-esteem, relieves anxiety, tension, stress and negativity too, without side effects, lightens mentally and physically too. It is a romance, relaxation, a blessing apparent, also known as patting enjoyed by humans as well as animals.

 

 “Massage is the only form of physical pleasure to which nature forgot to attach consequences.” – Robert Breault

 

Lighten, enlighten, brighten,

live long and be stress-free.
