Symptoms Of Stress
When we feel stressed we experience certain physiological (related to the body)
and psychological (related to the mind) symptoms, whose importance we may not fully
understand. These are normal signs that we should re-check our priorities – our
body, or our state of mind, is telling us that something in our lives needs to change.
Listed here are some of the common signs:
1. Loneliness – We may feel isolated (lonely) from friends and family, or
experience a lasting sense of being "lonely in a crowd".
2. Insecurity – We may suddenly feel shy or exposed around people with whom
we are usually filled with confidence. Or we may believe that we are always being
judged or criticized.
3. Loss of concentration and memory – We may find it hard to recall recent
conversations or promises. We may often feel confused, so that understanding and
remembering information could also be very difficult.
4. Fatigue (Tiredness) and sleeping difficulties – Although we may feel constantly
tired, we could also find it impossible to get to sleep.
5. Tears and mood swings – One of the most common symptoms is that we cry
easily. We may also experience mood swings – joyousness followed by sadness or vice
versa.

Message for the day 13-04-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The method to overcome fear is to keep giving power to others.
Projection: In difficult situations, the first reaction is that of fear-
of the consequences, of one's own power to face the situation. With this comes the
expectation that others should understand and help.
Solution: We need to take a thought to continue to give others even in difficult
situations. Then, we will be able to overcome our fear. Since our mind is busy giving
others we will be free from any negative thoughts and thus we will be stable.
