appear sage-like, but it can demand an aggressive approach. Chaos, too, generally has negative connotations, but might be the need of the hour. It's usually followed by a bout of rashness, which is counter-productive.
What is needed is a mid-course, where one is calm, but equally resolute. For this to happen, one needs to become confident of one's abilities.
Dr Rajesh Goyal, consultant, psychiatrist, Dr B L Kapur Memorial Hospital, New Delhi, says, "Since our childhood, we are conditioned to remain calm and handle things. Even if one is feeling bad about something, he is supposed to keep his cool. Gradually, things start accumulating in the mind, building stress, making the person anxious."
Don't let the situation reach to the point of eruption, and instead of creating chaos, communicate firmly and make your discomfort known. "Don't block the sewage system of your body, else it will stink," warns Dr Goyal. Dr Nirmala Rao, Mumbai-based psychiatrist advises, "One should pause to think through a situation." No doubt, we live in a pressure cooker environment. Some degree of stress is a part of life. To reduce it, one needs to finds the cause.
Dr Shyam V Pillai, of Birla Kerala Vaidyashala, says, "True health is based on the healthy functioning of five planes of life — physical, mental, spiritual, career and relationships. Our work should be meaningful or purposeful. If we work in meaningless environs, it can create mental and physical disorders. When a person is physically and mentally healthy, he can enjoy a healthy relationship."
Be calm, but resolute
Focus on changing the things you can and adapt to the things you cannot. Relaxation, humour and power of friendships are the best means of handling the stress storms of day-to-day life. You cannot eliminate all the pressures in your life, but can learn to deal with it effectively. Stop thinking of stress as something that just happens to you. Instead, take charge and turn it into a positive force.
Make your physical surroundings perfectly tranquil. You'll be happy and productive.
