Stressed Out - Fight Office Stress

Are you stress or stress pushed you into the danger zone?

In today’s working atmosphere where there is intense competition everywhere, every body wants to be rich in few days and with less work.

Office is the place where everybody is stresses for his own reason, and if boss is stressed it means, may be whole office is on fire.

There are many reasons to be stressed, may be of person’s own or created by someone else in his surroundings. But there is some remedies also:

Cause1 : Your boss throws you yet another report to write or pass an insane comments and you feel that your productivity crashes down.

Then what’s the solution

We always underestimate our power as individuals to modify our environments. If you are in office, close the door and screen your calls.

Cause 2: You’re suddenly assigned a new shift without notification, your manager just double your work load without giving a rise.

If you don’t know what’s going on, go on fact finding mission. The key is to be open and alert instead of complaining about what’s wrong. If no one want to hear your idea change yourself. Instead of seeing yourself as a victim of Your job, think about the fact that you are doing this job so that you can pay your child’s tuition fee.

Cause 3 : Your so is sick and you are going home for take care of him.
Priories your task and job. Analyse your schedule to see where time is being wasted.
But the point is what’s sparkling the stress: is that too much of work? No recognition or rewards?

Difficult co-workers?
Unfair treatments?
May be you can handle the workload but your boss not treated you as per your expectation or perhaps you feel that you are not getting appropriate compensation.

Happiness - Possess It And Be Stress Free


Happiness is a poem I wrote as philosophy of life. Whenever I feel stressed. I use it as stress reliever and helping agent to bring equilibrium in my life. Being Clinic Psoriasis administrator, I know stress is the single most important trigger for psoriasis patients. I will feel happy if this poem can help any psoriasis patient in controlling their conditions Let the content gets into your mind, body and soul. The more you will feel the contents within yourself, You will feel better and stress relieved. This in turn will help you to control your angry psoriasis condition and flare ups. Just enjoy it.

Happiness… What is Happiness? A shadow! An un-possess-able Shadow!! Or A Bag of Sand, just a small hole in the bag and sand is gone.

What is Happiness? Is becoming RICH happiness? Or, having family, friends and relatives happiness? Is acquiring wealth happiness? Or, having all these ingredients REALLY happiness? Then, Why, after possessing all of them, Even after reaching on the top; We still feel, there is something missing, Happiness is still away from us. ‘Like water in the desert' Always an Illusion Since grownup, I am running, running AND running. - In a marathon race And happiness is still beyond my reach… What is Happiness? A shadow! An un-possess-able Shadow!!

Let's think… Why are our desires endless? Because, We always desire for have-nots But Never realize what we have got. AND this thirst always goes on, till the end of our life. It over burns us It over stresses us AND takes our happiness away. It is our greed to acquire everything which takes away, what we already have. Why? Why I always compare myself with others and get wild Why can't I tolerate their successes? Why do I always want to pull them down to get equal? And in this process loose MY happiness. My comparison goes on and on, with enemies, friends, relatives, brothers, family, infect with everybody. Basically I am self centered and narrow minded. But still I am singing the same song, ‘happiness is a shadow; an un-possess-able shadow.'

Is happiness brittle? So brittle! Like a house of glass That Somebody throws a small stone at it and my house is gone. Why does happiness come only for a few moments? Like a fainted ray of light in a deep dark endless tunnel. Why? Because, I myself closed the doors of my tunnel. No matter, how many efforts I am making, without opening these doors, I can never see the light of happiness. And there is continuous bright sunshine outside my tunnel. "Whenever I concentrate on acquiring happiness, it always slips away from me And Whenever I make efforts in giving happiness to others, doors of my deep and dark tunnel open and bright and shinning light of happiness fills in. " Happiness is the only wealth which multiplies by dividing it." Happiness is a shadow!

Let's think again…. Why do I find myself in these conditions? Because I try and balance my happiness with money. Is happiness a commodity to trade on? No, it is not. Happiness! We search for it outside in materialistic word; whereas, it always lives in our within. "Neither wealth, nor status and nor any force can help in acquiring happiness; It is a feeling of my mind which comes with a sense of satisfaction" Can I reach this level of satisfaction? Yes When I get enlightened that attachment to materialistic word is the root cause of my dis-satisfaction. And attachment, condition less attachment to God is the root to happiness.

Realizing ‘we are simply users and not owners of what we possess' is the key to happiness. Happiness is not momental, it is permanent and possess-able when it is shadow of god

Happiness is shadow of God.

Top 10 Reasons to Try Yoga for Life


On the website of YogaAlliance there is a fact sheet that lists the top ten reasons to try Yoga for Life. I think it worths to read if you are cautious about Yoga. The top ten reasons mentioned are:

  1. YOGA is for STRESS RELIEF: Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body. By encouraging relaxation, yoga helps to lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
  2. YOGA is for PAIN RELIEF: Yoga can ease pain. Studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga asanas (postures), meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain and other chronic conditions.
  3. YOGA is for BETTER BREATHING: Yoga teaches people to take slower, deeper breaths. This helps to improve lung function, trigger the body’s relaxation response and increase the amount of oxygen available to the body.
  4. YOGA is for FLEXIBILITY: Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains. Many people can’t touch their toes during their first yoga class. Gradually they begin to use the correct muscles. Over time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles lengthen, increasing elasticity, making more poses possible.
  5. YOGA is for INCREASED STRENGTH: Yoga asanas (postures) use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe.
  6. YOGA is for WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: Yoga (even less vigorous styles) can aid weight control efforts by reducing the cortisol levels as well as by burning excess calories and reducing stress. Yoga also encourages healthy eating habits and provides a heightened sense of well being and self esteem.
  7. YOGA is for IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Yoga helps to improve circulation and, as a result of various poses, more efficiently moves oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.
  8. YOGA is for CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING: Even gentle yoga practice can provide cardio-vascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.
  9. YOGA is for FOCUS ON THE PRESENT: Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind body health. It opens the way to improved concentration, coordination, reaction time and memory.
  10. YOGA is for INNER PEACE: The meditative aspects of yoga help many to reach a deeper, more spiritual and more satisfying place in their lives. Many who begin to practice for other reasons have reported this to be a key reason that yoga has become an essential part of their daily lives.
I truly agree with these facts and want to add that "what so ever benefit Yoga might have for you; it don't harm you if a little caution with common sense is used while starting".
Please not what I have mentioned in an earlier post : "Try gentle yoga to start with. When you are practicing a posture, do what you can without creating more pain. Depending on what parts of your body are affected and your physical abilities, your practice will be specific to you. You may not be able to safely or comfortably do the posture the way the trainer or someone else is doing it. That's okay. Modify or change the position so it feels good for you. You will find out what works for you, what you are able to do, and what helps you to move in a positive direction."
