Anil’s Laws to Reduce Stress

The law of relocation

We should temporarily go away from those places of which we have sad memories. With the change of environment, mental tension also will reduce. If you cannot go away, keep things which remind you of a sad past away from you.

The law of staying busy

To push stress out, keep yourself busy in some activity. Religious activities can bring in peace. Do not watch TV as a diversion if there is a tragedy nearer home. You might relate your own loss or problem to some show or episode on TV, which will add to the stress.

The law of expressing emotions

All-pervasive suffocation in the mind, curbing of desires and hiding of sorrows gives rise to unbearable pain, which makes the person irritable. By keeping a tight rein on one’s emotions, one can invite lot of tension. Share your feelings with someone you are comfortable with. You can also express your thoughts through writing, art, or acting.

The law of development

If inferiority complex is a reason for tension, it is counter-productive to development. We should stay away from people who discourage us and get friendlier with those who inspire us.

The law of fearlessness

Because of our mistakes, we get involved with certain problems. We may be weak physically, but we can be strong in our thoughts. To get out of tensions, it is more important to have a strong mind rather than a strong body. You must be convinced that your welfare lies in conquering your deep-rooted fears.

The law of changing behavior

Probably, it is our bad behavior which is behind our problem. Quite often, we are aware of the mistakes we make, but we do not accept them. If we bring about necessary changes in our behavior, we can save us some trouble and also make more friends.

The law of staying natural

It has become fashionable to call oneself ‘an angry man’ or ‘an angry woman’. We get angry very fast. When a person stays his natural self and then does something, he usually achieves success. To remain natural, divide yourself into three parts: mind, heart and soul. The mind is to take care of the business. The heart to run the family and the soul is your sacred consciousness. If you desire, you can take it to your business or your home.

The law of changing point of view

We start with the assumption that whatever we think to be true is the truth. After we have already formed the opinions, we are unwilling to reconsider. It is such thoughts which prevent us from attempting to find the truth because of which we suffer from misconceptions. The cause of many of our tensions is our stubbornness.

The law of staying involved in oneself

Caring for others excessively also can create problems for us. If people just don’t appreciate our feelings, then how long can we continue to make them understand? It is better that we remain involved in ourselves. If we are on the right track, others will slowly begin to understand our viewpoint.

The law of dynamism

The meaning of life itself is dynamism.
