It is commonly being said and discussed everywhere that a life without stress and worry is impossible to exist. While some of us consider stress as natural, there are others who even say stress is good and some even go to the extent of saying that becoming stressful and worrying will bring us to solutions to problems. While the range of common views and opinions is vast, it is fair to say that there is no one common opinion on the word stress. We are all confused and misled by our own beliefs, others' opinions, information from outside sources as well as most importantly, a lack of correct wisdom on the 21st century favourite topic. A shift of consciousness at 5 levels can lead to a stress free life. Let's take 5 such steps:
Step 1 – Don't Worry … It Is All Happening For The Good – When this is told to people who worry a lot, they feel that this cannot be true. The lack of appreciation from my colleague in my office, the serious illness, the negative relationship with my spouse, where sometimes nothing but disagreement exists – and you say it is all happening for the good. Spiritual wisdom when learnt makes us relaxed and light, that whatever is happening at the current moment is right for us. Also, anything happening will strengthen you internally, make you wiser spiritually and emotionally and is settling negative karmic accounts created by us in the past and making us lighter. Also, most important of all, it is a test for us, by passing which, we will create better future realities for ourselves. So, always remember the slogan – What has passed was good, what is in front of us now is very good and whatever future we create by remaining stable and content in the present difficult situation, will be very very good. Starting the day with this consciousness will make you successful always.
