Monday Blues - How do you handle stress?

While it is easy to sit in a comfortable place and advice, it can be really painful when you don't know how to handle it. Some of the skills we don't teach children and even students in good schools are related to emotional health. Handling stress is one of the most needed skills in today's time. Don't you think so?

Stress is real

I have spoken to many people who handle stress daily about how they live with it. Some of the worse situations make people feel suffocated, triggering headaches that last more than 2-3 days and even blur out their eyesight for some time. That can be an extremely painful experience unless handled professionally. 

If you are someone who is going through these tough times, definitely speak about it to your loved ones and see a professional who can help you with coping with the pressure. There is no shame in seeking help when you need it. Remember that your family and loved ones need you. Talk to someone today.

Here are a few tips that can help you manage the pressure at work or otherwise.

• Listen to good music - soul-lifting, calming, rock, devotional - whatever helps you.
• Eat healthy, light and take good care of your body and mind
• Spend time meditating - practice calmness, mindfulness, forgiving
• Get some good sleep - try and get to bed at a fixed time. Good quality sleep helps
• Walk - when angry, tired, stressed out, thinking, or on a phone call, step out and take a stroll
• Practice gratitude - be thankful for what you have, how lucky we are!
• Spend time with kids, family, friends, pets, plants and do whatever makes you joyful
• Laugh more - find occasions to laugh, smile

For God's sake, Just do it!

 

I have seen many people and myself sometimes stay at one point where we are waiting for the best idea to emerge, best design to come up while we sit there and wait till the last minute and then rush into doing things that we are not proud of. You know what I mean, don't you?

Most of the work is tiresome and non-interesting but we got to get through that to get to the interesting stuff. So it is better to start off early and finish the mundane tasks that make our routine and then have time for the creative, productive stuff.

Plan your day and make good use of the plan. Have complete attention in the time you can. Like, have an hour of your best time, morning coffee time in my case, to answer your emails and set out the tasks for the day. In that one hour, don't have anything open on your laptop, have your phone on emergency calls only and focus on completing the task.

I also would encourage you to pick up the toughest task you have for the day and handle it as the first thing you would do for today. Answering that query, completing the presentation, replying to the client or making that report.

Whatever you usually put off till the last minute, handle that first. Once you do that, you take up the strongest enemy on the table and then you are practically blazing through the rest of the day.

Having a coffee break or a simple stroll during the day also helps. Try it for a week and see how easy your day becomes. So don't keep it pending till the nth hour. Just do it and finish it off.

Why weekend is loved so much!

 

Isn't it is an amazing cycle?

You struggle, strive, keep running, and then comes Saturday.
What are you doing this weekend?

Relax, rejuvenate and rebound. Sometimes rest is needed. Ignore everything around you and try to catch some sleep and connect with your inner self, family, friends, and food :)

Tell me what you are doing this weekend?

For entrepreneurs, where does the sky end? Where does the sea begin?

Learn Teach Learn

 Once you learn something, make sure you teach that and add value to many people.

And keep learning. Teaching gives me joy. Learning keeps the fire alive. Keep learning and teaching.

Human ego

 This beautiful little planet is home to numerous species who co-habit with us. Your small contribution is important to make it a better place and to ensure a safer, secure and sustainable future to your children.

As in the words of Garvit,

Will human ego sacrifice the world

To satiate its lust for pompous homes?

Will distant space look down on orb that’s bald.

I now can hear the mother say,

“I was once called Earth.

But now , bereft of mirth, I weep. 

That treeless orb’s no longer Earth”
