Leading A Stress-Free Life
Till about 20 years ago, the word stress was only a term in Science. It was not a part of our conversations to refer to our state of mind. Even during those years we worked as hard as we are working today, situations were equally challenging as they are today. Yet we never said I feel stressed. Slowly we started using it commonly as an emotion to describe our state of mind. We like to say that we are stressed, as an indicator that we are working very hard, even going above and beyond our regular duties. Let us check our understanding about stress. We are originally happy, peaceful and powerful beings. Stress is a result of our creation of wrong thoughts. It is an emotional pain that indicates that something in us needs to change. But seeing everyone around us also going through stress, we tend to believe that experiencing a little stress is fine, natural, obvious and common in today's times. That is not true. Stress has an impact on our physical and emotional well-being. It impacts our efficiency, memory, decision making ability and reduces our performance. Hence, any amount of stress is damaging.
In Science, Stress is equal to Pressure divided by Resilience.
Applying it in our lives:
Pressure = Our Situations (like targets, deadlines, exams, goals, issues in health, relationships)
Resilience = Our Inner Strength (like purity, peace, power, happiness, bliss, wisdom, love)
Therefore Stress is equal to Our Situations divided by Our Inner Strength.
So when we increase inner strength, we reduce stress. We become stable, peaceful and happy beings. But when our inner strength is low, even a small pressure creates high stress. Our first responsibility in any situation is to take charge of our state of mind by increasing inner strength. It is the only entity in our control and not the situation, and gives us the power to face any situation.

Message for the day 01-09-2020
-----------------------------------------
The sweetness of the mind brings sweetness in words and interactions.
Expression: There is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions. But this sweetness can be expressed only when there is sweetness in the mind. Sweetness of the mind means there is not even a trace of negativity. Such a mind is further open to all that is nice and beautiful and expresses its own freshness and beauty in interactions.
Experience: When I am able to keep my mind sweet, i.e., free from any kind of bitterness or ill-feelings, I am able to experience the beauty of life. There is no feeling of sorrow or negativity but the mind is nurtured to further positivity with everything that comes its way. I am then able to experience constant growth and progress.
