Stress Bursting Pills

Feeling less concerned about today’s problems do not mean, that the problems are solved, COVID -19, not only made a mass of people around the world sick, but confused them at the same time about their future. People feel trapped in their own houses, young children are at the risk of more confusion and anxiety. No doubt the life is coming back to its normal phase, somehow most of us get convinced to the fact that only precautions can save from this worldwide infection. With curious eyes all of us are waiting for the masses to be vaccinated that can take the fear of being trapped into the clutches of this virus. During this phase many of us are still working from the comfort of our homes, but there are still many who are either jobless or working for ten to twelve hours a day to make the two ends meet, without even taking care of their health. Everyone has a different definition of life. The children of almost all the ages are at home and having their online assignments and working on them.

I think of the time gone by when we call social media, a big distraction not only for kids but for all of us.  The need of the hour has introduced even the three-year-old child to learn from the internet. I am the part of the country where people feel difficulty in meeting their two ends meet. They have to sleep empty stomach for two to three days continuously or have only one meal a day.  If one look towards the higher side of the society there are people who are rich, richer, richest and the richest than the richest, on the lower side also there are people who are poor, poorer, poorest, poorest than the poorest. What to say about the middle class, low middle class, lower middle, lowest middle class, lowest to lowest middle class than upper middle class, upper middle class, uppermost middle class and so on, an unending definition and its classification. Everyone is curious to move into the other class, a continuous struggle is there.  Looking at the sky is not going to solve the problems, one need to act and take the first step towards the change, initial first step is difficult to start, once you take that, your journey begins.

Today, I met a woman, she is a domestic help, I know her from last two or three years, she had a fade expression on her face and seemed a little worried, she is mother of three children. On my repeated insistence she told me that her younger daughter  who is six years old , prior to lockdown she has been going to school regularly from last two years and was well conversant with all the poems  ,  able to recite a number of poems , had recognition of English alphabets and counting up to hundred but during this lockdown and unlock down period she has forgotten everything, when online classes start , she again have to learn all that syllabus, when her mother asked that why she has forgotten everything , her reply was that due to lack of money in the family , her parents have stopped her and other two siblings of hers from going to school. The woman was quite upset, almost on the verge of crying and inquiring me that what’s her fault as a mother. The young little girl was inconvincible and slept without eating anything that her parents do not want to send her to the school.    This is not the only one incident I came across, even the older children have similar types of problems and the parents as well as children are under the constant pressure, that gives rise to domestic violence, quarrels on trivial matters. The family of a daily wager or domestic help or with very low income, hardly have the sufficient amount to afford only one smart phone that too with a great difficulty, having two to three children studying in different classes, as all the children are getting their assignments online, again gives rise to mental stress. Each part of the society has been affected due to this uninvited situation. The people are confused about their state of mind. The persons who are working from home are in the hidden fear of losing their jobs if they won’t work, living in one room apartment with their family, they are not getting the proper atmosphere of work. Going to school, colleges, to one’s workplace is in itself a stress relieving.  With a constant research on this topic and interacting with a couple of teachers I have reached to the conclusion that we all need stress bursting pills that we already have in our body and mental system. Few of these are:

1. Try to be happy in all the situations of life, no matter what happens every situation has to pass. Untoward situations are not in our hands but happiness is in our hands. Pass a smile it’s contagious, relieves the stress, makes the face beautiful.
2. Love for the self. You know yourself better than anyone else knows you.
3. No one is perfect in this world, don’t try to be perfect in all the fields of your life.
4. Fix your own standards, no one is going to reward you for your advice.
5. Love your family and friends unconditionally, true friends will stay and others go away.
6. Your children have come through you, but not you, their opinion is as important as yours.
7. Spend your time with your family, conversations give the solutions to all the problems.
8. Do not be judgmental, the people who judge the others have limited beliefs, they look into only one side of the coin. So, don’t waste your time while judging others and ignore those who try to judge you.
9. We all are here for a limited period of time, follow your passion, create your own definition for life and it’s meaning.
10. Try to help those who are really in need, say with small amount of money, clothes, food, a good read or anything which you feel you can share, we all have something with us to give to others.  Almighty has enriched us with abundance, he is the giver we are the taker, but in regard to other persons, who are in need become the giver, to multiply your knowledge.
11. Consume less preserve more.
12.  Listen to the music you love, hum the song you like the most. Music lessens the burden from the soul.
13. Give wings to your dreams, dream with open eyes, try to fulfill those.
14. Take adequate sleep, relax your mind, mummer few words before going to sleep to yourself that elevate and lighten your mood and make you feel great.
15. After waking up the first thing you can do in the morning, thanks to the creator for everything He has given you.
16. Make a list of things for which you feel gratuitous for, write at least five things daily, one day you will find the list is very long one, rather endless, it will help you to know how precious and important you are for the Almighty Himself. Value yourself. At the same you will realize that the things you won’t get were not for you.
17. Meditate a little, talk to yourself it’s the medication for all the problems, give good vibes first to yourself than to others, bless yourself than try to send good vibes and best wishes to others.
18. Law of attraction is perfect, give only those thoughts which you want to back to you. Positivity brings positivity, negativity attracts negativity. So be cautious while creating any thought.
19. Do exercise or walk or yoga daily to keep yourself fit, drink plenty of water, eat nutritious food with adequate amount of fruits, vegetables and nuts.
20.  Hope for the best, wish for the best. Go with the flow, few things take a little longer to change, eventually change to bring the new hues of life.

These are twenty stress bursting pills.  Take one daily, work on it, let it settle in your mind to give you energy to work and handle the day to day problems. Repeat after every twenty days, hope you will get a stress-free life, if not absolutely stress free, can help you to a great extent. Living a good healthy and happy life is the right of everyone. Every situation cannot be changed or reversed but your positive attitude towards others and accepting the same can help you to manage your mental state of health. Rivers never stop flowing, they flow with their majesty and might, giving us the message, that the time assigned to us by the Creator is to flow, keep going, without being distracted by the hindrances. Make your mind strong and energize it with every dawn, respect for the self and others create a new definition towards life.  We all are unique in our own way, as our finger impression do not match with anyone else, we have unique combination of DNA structure.

Wish you all happy, healthy and wealthy life.
