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.”
Benjamin Franklin
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.
