Stress and tension are unavoidable so what should we do to have an ideal life without stress and tension?

Ans: Dear Bimal,
I wish there was some template that we could all follow to always be happy in life.
But I can share a few suggestions on how you can view life with joy no matter what the situation is!

1. See the goodness in every situation or person no matter what is happening
2. Spin positive reasoning even when things are not in your favour
3. Keep expectations out of people to a bare minimum
4. Understand that 'change' is the norm in life
5. Be in gratitude every moment
6. Accept that highs and lows is part of life

These suggestions allow you the flexibility to cope when things are not going your way and also helps you sustain a positive frame of mind at most times. Saying this, 'Happiness' is a state of mind that is 'always' within you. Choose to access it at all times...

All the best!

Ans: Namaste!
We can make our life extremely healthy by maintaining a balance in everything that we do. We can eat well, sleep well, work in moderation, exercise often, focus on our breathing patterns. Staying healthy is the most natural thing we as human beings are designed to do.

Ans: The first step is to become aware of what triggers your stress. This self-awareness allows you to address the root causes rather than just the symptoms. Once you identify these triggers, you can start exploring techniques that help you cope effectively.

One effective approach is to incorporate regular self-care practices into your daily routine. This could include activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature. These practices not only help calm the mind but also improve your overall mood and resilience to stress.

Talking to someone you trust, whether a friend, family member, or professional, can also be a powerful way to manage stress. Sharing your feelings and experiences helps lighten the emotional load and provides different perspectives that might help you navigate your challenges more effectively.

It's also important to focus on what you can control and let go of things that are beyond your influence. This shift in mindset can reduce feelings of helplessness and frustration. Setting realistic expectations for yourself and others can also alleviate unnecessary pressure.

Remember to give yourself permission to rest and recharge. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and time for relaxation are essential for managing stress. When you take care of your body and mind, you're better equipped to handle life's demands.

Lastly, cultivating a mindset of gratitude and mindfulness can help you stay present and appreciate the positive aspects of your life, even during stressful times. These practices can create a sense of balance and help you respond to stress in healthier, more constructive ways. By integrating these approaches into your life, you can build resilience and find a sense of peace amidst the chaos.
