Talk on Stress Management
Visakhapatnam 4 Feb 2018
Opting for Telugu Language is my for easier conveyance of feelings.
Stress is an important and interesting topic. Unnecessary stress is a problem we created in our own life. What is the solution?
Sit quietly to find out the solution. God has given us the mechanism in our mind to sort out the problem. Do not fix a name and form to God. He encompasses everything that we can imagine.
If you talk about stress and problems: who is. Or prone to it?
Even the creator is also affected by this. Except for the philosophers of highest state of realisation, who deem that the creation happens on its own, every one who is a creator has his share of woos.
In Dattadarshana, an epic about Dattatreya we have a great gamut of presentations about these concepts.
Let us take an example:
A driver constantly prodded or chided by the owner or passenger will make more mistakes, eventually leading to a major accident. Stress is the reason. Instead of overlooking the minor mistake we exaggerate and aggravate the crisis.
We change schedules, locations, to avoid stress. Meditation, Puja and Music are considered as modes of relief . It may not help a lot.
My remedy is just one line:
Sit silently for 5- 40 minutes according to the society scent of disturbance. Your metabolic rate would calm down. Even in cases of heart attach or stroke this is what get advised and prescribed.
Get some fresh air and breathe. The body and mind would start to heal yourself. This is the biggest remedy and medicine. Get the body to repair itself.
Increase the length of the breathe.
Get some soothing music.
Slip to sleep.
Do not deem that you are the sole creator and responsible person for the entire structure or edifice project. There are others responsible for the success or failure.
Whatever be the sophistication of machinery, there is an element of human effort. Allow others to take responsibility. By sharing your duties, feelings and responsibilities you are shedding some load.
In spite of our best efforts, we can’t exceed the greatness, of the nature given by God. We have systems in the body to protect the body and environment. Similarly the mind has its remedial mechanism to heal itself.
It is also possible that our callousness make us suffer similar accident at the same juncture and place. Body injuries and mental agony from similar circumstances are result of the absence of attention to failure from our end.
God has given several capabilities to deal with almost every exigency of life. Our vibrations would go up at every opportune time to meet the need of the hour. Our body too is a replica of the great Universe.
In times of stress, think of the opportunity you had. Think of your past achievements and points of prowess. Noise stifles the mind to shut down. Come out in the nature. It soothes your mind.
Here, at Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (Vizag Steel Plant), you have everything needed to protect and heal yourself from stress. Green Forestry, Serene sea shore and cool breeze would rejuvenate you.
Realise the great gifts you are endowed with. God has given a great proof of concept with sound proofing. Just imagine how we could get terrified if the sounds from bodily functions come out.
Sound plays an important factor in life. Reduce the overwhelming impact from external sources. Try to secure yourself within controlled atmosphere.
You have several layers of protection for Steel from corrosion, similar to the protection given to the bones and body.
Take this illustration to mind that you have the protection given to the mind and body given by the Almighty.
This evening’s music concert would remind yourself and provides the succour from stress. Yoga is the great compatriot for this effort.
You may not be able to control all the action concerning you life. But you can certainly control your reaction. Manage it properly and reduce your stress.
Jaya Guru Datta
