Ways To Beat Stress
March 25, 2009
We all know that stress is bad for us, but we all do not know how best to rid our selves from this infliction. Is it as easy as some say that it is hard wired into us? The truth really is that “We are what we think”.
An age old saying that has come down the ages, but in today’s world of fast paced living, we never stop to be able to get a breather and to reflect on so simple a statement. And yet it is the very essence of what we are and what we do.
To jump of the bandwagon of stress there is something simple that we must do. That is to step of the perilous whirlwind of events that seem to engulf us. I see stress as an over worked computer today which is fighting to keep it self moving with all the programs you have requested it to do.
With each extra program you add to the already existing list the system is getting bogged down and your computer start to get slower in performing each task. Add a dash of some more software and this and that and one day your system crashes. Now you have to start all afresh.
Similarly it is with us. When we have too many things in our lives that are going on we just cannot cope and like a ‘crash’ of the computer system, so do we get bogged down by stress.
Much of it comes from wanting to stay ahead of the Jones’s. We must get of the bandwagon of lives/lies that we need to do so much to be “successful”. This is the biggest lie we are programmed with in our lives.
The best way I would recommend to you to reduce your stress levels is to learn the art of meditation. It is not a quick fix plug in solution. One needs to understand the fundamentals of meditation.
Do not wait till your system is near a crashing state to pick up this art form. Get to it now, because it is all about “reprogramming” your internal though processes.
I would strongly urge you to read about it as much as possible. All you need is a place free from all distractions to practice it. Remember what Jesus the great Christian apostle said, he said you could move a mountain if you had faith. Here faith means getting “control” of the mind.
That returns us to “We are what we think”. Bring back what’s important to your life and not what the neighbours are saying or doing.
