Do not think that your stress is something
special and none has experienced the type of stress that you are
undergoing. Each individual lives with a moderate level of stress. Some
exhibit it, cry about it, others brave it calmly- that's the difference!
Nurturing the stress can cause serious problems, both physical and
mental! Do not think that stress is due to sad events only. Sterling
happy events can also cause stress.
Let's know
what are some of the common causes for stress and how natural stress
managements techniques can be applied to understand and solve them. For,
behind every stress, there is an event or a strong cause. Consider some
of them:
1) Losing the job: Initially, this may sound like a
disaster to you. There is no doubt that getting an alternative
employment is the only alternative solution. Some times, 'wrong things
happen' for giving you a right turn in life. Do not lose hope. Fight the
battle of your life.
Here I will share a real
life story of a driver with you. A man was working as a driver with a
merchant, for the last eight years, and suddenly his services were
terminated. This event though stressful, gave him an opportunity to
think about the other job alternatives. He was guided to a Bank by his
friend. He took a auto-loan, and today, within a space of two years,
that ex-driver is owning four vehicles, including a tempo, for carrying
cargo. From the rented one room flat, he has shifted to his two bed-room
flat. Initially, after termination of his services, he was having a
revengeful attitude against his former employer. How the advice of his
level headed friend brought to him, rich dividends!
2) Examination Failures: Failure in an examination is not a failure
in life. You can always try again. Those who score extra percentage,
need not be extra brilliant! Suppose you are not brilliant in studies-
you may be cut out for business, where you may gain astounding success.
All that is in your hands is to make sincere efforts. Take care of the
means-the ends will take care of themselves!
3) After the
retirement:The senior citizen, unfortunately, is only given
lip-sympathy, he has many problems. His earnings have dwindled, his
physical strength is not the same, he has no chair-power, through which
he commanded lots of influence. A lot of understanding is required, and
all the natural stress management techniques will have to play positive
roles here. You were once the the master in acquiring things, now be the
willing human being to give up things, one by one. Otherwise, you would
be the cause of your own stressful living.
The
list of stress creating situations are endless and level of stress
varies from individual to individual.
But, use one golden rule- do not overreact to any situation. Howsoever
powerful may be the storm-it has to pass. Wait and watch with patience.
This is all about natural stress management.
