Stress and Happiness are correlated issues
How Stress affects us?
"No, you cannot stop
the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can stop them from
building nests in your hair"; I totally agree with this quote of D.B.
Patterson. However, it's not possible to stop negative things happen in your
life but it's possible to be unaffected by whatever negative thing happens
around you. If you are being affected by the negative things happening in
your life then you definitely require to learn the tricks to protect yourself
from such consequences.
Stress also affects our
body:
One of my friends asked
me, "Do U know stress also influences skin?" I was surprised to know
how stress is playing negative roles in various aspects and when we think about
happiness that is also not possible if someone is affected by stress
syndrome. We know that stress is a temporary state of mind but it's amazing
fact that most of the diseases which remain long-term like blood pressure,
diabetes, heart problems are the result of stress and even worsen with stress.
Skin diseases are also badly affected by stress. Through meeting
each-other and using social media everyone advises others to take care and try
not to stress out too much but is it possible?
Stress and Happiness are
correlated:
After going through a lot
of research work in the areas of stress management and happiness it is realized
that one can remain
happy and out of stress for forever if he follows ethics and moral
values in his conduct and lifestyle. It is easy to say "keep smiling and
make life full of positivity" but to make it happens one has to go through
the Vedas and religious values.
If someone remains happy
then diseases also go far from his life. What is inside the body that is
visualized outside? Keeping the state of the body in happy mode also brightens the skin
with the removal of problems from life.
During my research, a person told me, "Ander ki Khushi bahar jhalkti hai" and this
is fact.
Tips to
follow for getting rid of stress:
There are a few things which one should follow to get rid of
stress:
1. The stress comes when someone behaves out of our expectations
and it happened when we don't give respect to others. It also happens when we
expect more than the actual situation. We should not trust blindly and make
relationships only after a long-term association.
2. It is fact that a person plays multiple roles in his life and
in each role he usually faces different persons, different situations, and these
roles also sometimes create stress. If a person is flexible to keep its one role
unaffected from the stress of another role then he can remain happy forever.
3. Time should be managed in such a way that the priorities can be
completed on time or with the least delay to affect life. Instead of wasting
time on Whatsapp and Facebook, time limits should be determined for use of
such apps.
4. It is a must to realize fact that the sentiments at workplaces
affect performance. One should perform his work with full dedication and
there should not be the scope of sentiments in affecting the work performance. The
timely completion of work without touching deadlines also makes us happy.
5. One should trust upon Almighty who empowers to achieve lifetime goals. Feeling blessed and always being in a mode of thanking Almighty
works in increasing happiness.
6. Being hasty in doing work, cannot be considered wise. One
should perform the tasks with adequate planning. If targets are achieved on
time, then one should enjoy the moments with celebrations.
In last, the research study concludes that stress and happiness are positively correlated. If happiness comes to life, then stress goes out and the diseases are reduced significantly. On the other hand, if stress comes in life, then happiness is reduced automatically and the diseases either originated from the mind or be worsened.
Happiness and Freedom
Happiness comes from freedom,
either psychologically or physically.
Psychologically, we can feel free
by doing Meditation. It is rightly said, "Sometimes You just have to die
little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser
version of You."
The virus of Corona Covid-19 tried to
take our freedom and most of the happiness gone during the few months of 2020
however, each person made efforts to stay with physical distance, starting
living a healthy life with taking a protein-rich diet, leaving bad eating habits
etc. Let's share a small story to understand how happiness can't be detached
from freedom:
Once a family invited nearby people to
celebrate an occasion and sweet hot Rice ("Kheer") were being
prepared to serve the people. The preparing of food took more time and the
people were eagerly waiting for the food and the smell was coming quite good
from the kitchen. Since it was getting late everyone was hungry. The time came
and Sweet Hot Rice ("Kheer") was being served to all and the cook
came and announced that he tried a lot to remove all the stones from the rice
however, there may still be any stone therefore everyone should eat with
care.
Everyone started eating slowly instead of great hunger so that no stone be eaten. While eating everyone was
thinking that there may be a stone in his food. But no one found stone and the
entire food was delicious. Now everyone was looking at the cook why he gave the
alert and made the delicious food full of suspicions. The enjoyment was gone
due to his announcement and everyone had eaten food with a feeling of doubt,
without saying, without being cool and relaxed. The cook again told that he had
doubt therefore he announced as it might be found in the food. The people at
the get-together were feeling disappointed because no one focused upon the taste
of food.
Similarly, the virus Covid-19 Corona
made the people act with precautionary measures, and due to precautions, each
person is taking another person with a suspicious mindset. The virus took the
freedom to act, to think beyond it, and even to live with freedom. The stress
increased and due to such an environment, a long time passed without the enjoyment of
the moments. Freedom is a must for happiness and we should not put hurdles in
the life of others either by making words or doing wrong deeds.
Instead of it we should live happily
and spread happiness, strengthen ourselves enough to face such viruses both
physically and psychologically. Let's be committed to doing good deeds, act with a pure heart to support others, do meditation, do yoga, love each other and say
bye-bye to jealousy and anger. Everything will soon be good and we will enjoy
the moments as earlier just follow the habits of wearing masks and keeping
physical distance.
