Stree and life..Life and stress

In this modern world stress has become a part of our lives. People don’t know how to overcome it or deal with it. STRESS can be subdivided into 4 categories

1. SURVIVAL STRESS: This kind of stress arises when you are in danger. This type of stress is highly beneficial to an individual .It creates a big boost in power to be able to handle the situation
Can you imagine a human having more power than a lion or tiger???YES one can..
2. INTERNAL STRESS: This type of stress is most common. It arises as a result of worry and life’s difficulties. This type of stress leads to many diseases.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS: This kind of stress arises from excessive noises, crowds as well as pressure from work and family.
4. Fatigue & over work
We strive to earn a great deal of money at the expense of our mental well being. All beings desire more money to enjoy life. This deep desire creates stress.
Mental and physical changes during stress:
*Heart beat and breathing get faster
*a lot of sweatings
*cold hand, feet or skin
*stomach uncomfortable
*Muscles get tense or tight
*mouth dry
*Nature call all the time
*head pain, fatigue

Physical and mental changes of long stress
* CHANGES in eating habits
*CHANGES in sleeping pattern
*colds, asthma & heart problem
*problem in sex life
*always tired

Remember we have to balance our life; Stress causes disease in the body. The greater the internal stress, the greater the chances of high blood pressure. As a result of an increased level of blood pressure, the sugar level in the body drops. Diabetes can result and this may also lead to heart attacks. Nervous tensions impact on outward appearance as well. A person may get age faster. So beware don’t fill your mind with unnecessary negative thoughts which increases the stress levels. You need to be equipped with special tools too deal with this stress. Off course in life we all have to face stress but don’t take the stress as life or life as stress. Do every day simple pranyama(breathing exercise),Asana(yoga postures) & meditation. According to a Japanese doctor food is not the only necessity for a long & youth full life. The mind is the main thing we have to keep it happy and balanced that is the secret of long life. Dwelling on problems will only increase or create your problems or depths of sadness. Try to look at the brighter side of things it help you to overcome your problem. Be positive

Simple things to relax from stress
