A language teacher had problems with one of his students. The student
was weak in learning the spellings of the words. He was weaker in
memory. He repeated and wrote those words many a times, yet when it
mattered, he spelled them incorrectly!
The problem words were:
Mathematics and Stephenson! The teacher provided him an easy technique to
learn the spellings and said- 'So, by tomorrow, you need to be thorough
in these words, said the teacher!'
'Tomorrow never comes madam,
you told me so, I will tell the correct spellings of the words, just
now!' said the enthusiastic student!
The tips given by the
teacher, made it so easy. What teacher did was to fragment the words.
The
shape of mathematics was mat-he-mat-ics!
Stephenson was
Step-hen-son!
Stress management tips are also some what like that!
Do not make a big burden of your stress. With some
imaginative handling of the situation, the load of iron bars can turn
into a load of cotton!
Here are some of the stress management tips:
1) Just go for a brisk walk, and try to make it a part of your daily
routine. Let it be a stress free walk- don't you remember the poem that
you sang in chorus at the primary school level, 'Work while you work,
play while you play that is the way to be happy and gay.' The times have
now arrived to translate the words, all those goody goody poems and
proverbs that you crammed to score high percentage in your language
paper, into reality.
2) It is better not to have foes. But if you have one, avoid him. Because
his poisonous tongue is the root cause of your mental agitations. Have
friendship with people with genuine feelings.
3) Avoid doing what upsets you most.
4) Be a practical man and do not imbibe too much idealism in your
personality. Give clearcut answers and don't be vague. Know your
limitations and do not promise that, that you can not fulfill. A
definite NO is far better than a confusing, vague YES.
5) Join a social, spiritual or a socio-spiritual organization.
Being helpful to the society, is a great feeling that will relieve much
of your tension.
6) Take the advise of a specialist, if the nature of your stress is too
pressing. If you think that you have reached a point of no return. These
experienced counselors have practical solutions, in their quiver!
7) Let not your life be like an overloaded truck.
Unload yourself; unburden yourself.
8) Be ever calm. Be positive, even the worst situation will do you no
harm.
Stress management tips are just the indicators. You have to develop your
own strategy to manage stress. 'You are the creator of your own
destiny-not the victim'. Understand this golden rule well!
