When we pursue happiness, it eludes you. However, when you recognise that happiness is the natural state of the soul, all you need is to eliminate all that comes between your happiness and you.
Benjamin
Franklin once said: "The sting of any criticism comes from the truth
it contains." It may, however, be difficult for us to take in these
truths because of the manner in which they are usually communicated.
These are great sources of stress for us in every field of life, such
as work place, schools, social gathering and in our own home. But, knowing
how to deal with accusations or criticisms may save you from a lot of
stress and mental agony.
1.
Don't be shocked or offended when someone decides to criticize you. While
it may feel like they are trying to hurt you, they may actually be speaking
with good intentions.
2. Don't take criticism personally. When someone criticizes you
or is angry with you, try to focus on what you did or didn't do and ignore
any generalizations or personality attacks that also come along. People
can sometimes be vicious and insensitive when they are angry. If you put
their viciousness aside, you can still benefit greatly from the feedback
they are providing you.
3. If you don't understand the legitimacy of the other person's
anger or criticism, ask them to help you better understand their point
of view. As long as you are interested in what you can learn from other
people's negative comments (instead of arguing against them), they will
usually be willing to explain things in greater detail.
1.
Never take important decisions while under stress.
2. Learning to create or be part of interactive groups/communities
helps in weaning away an individual from stress and its effects. Sharing
of personal views, experiences, even getting consultation and involving
in meaningful activities play an important role in lessening or managing
stress.
3. Planning ahead is the secret of sound financial management
without which one can invite a lot of stress . Allocate your income
across the categories you need to fund each month. These might include
mortgage, clothing, food, holiday, medical,children's education, traveling
expenses and so on. Assign a part of your income to each of these categories,
regularly.
4.
You spend a lot of your life on the road. Do whatever it takes to make
the journey a pleasant one. The following attitudes may help make your
life on-road safe and enjoyable:
a.
Give other motorists the benefit of doubt. The slow driver in front
of you could be sick or aged.
b. Travel with someone whose company you enjoy.
c.
Listen to a humorous tape or radio station.
d.
Listen to music that you really enjoy.
e. Try to figure out what the crazy drivers you encounter are going
to do with the extra few minutes that they gain on the journey.
