Stress Busters.
You cannot smooth out the surf, but you can learn to ride the waves.
Life consists of ups and downs. Rather than trying to avoid all negative feelings, learn to accept down times as a normal part of life and become skilled at dealing with those feelings in a healthy way.
Try to avoid or at least spend less time with people who are constantly angry, pessimistic, frightening or critical. If any of these people are in your immediate family, recognize that you cannot change them, but you can work on setting limits and boundaries to reduce the number and frequency of stressful interactions.
A research study at Philadaelphia’s St. Joseph university has shown that writing about problems and possible solutions may improve both physical and psychological health. Try writing about whatever is currently causing you the most stress, including your honest feelings about it. When you have finished, either keep what you have written to refer to later or tear up the paper and throw it away.
Do not let yourself be pushed into making important decisions without enough thought. You may be asking for trouble by not taking the time necessary to consider the potential results of your choices.
Absolute and relative states of freedom-
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, unlike non-metals. Although electrons constitute a major component of both, the nature of these particles makes the difference.
While in non-metals the electrons are not free, in metals there are both free and non-free (bound) electrons. The free electrons are responsible for most of the distinguishing properties of metals.
There is the value of freedom in material bodies. Its importance is no less in life. If a person is asked to choose between wealth and freedom, a rational man would probably choose the latter. The history of civilisation is the progress from bondage to freedom. Indeed the richness of a civilisation depends on the degree of freedom enjoyed by the people.
Freedom is synonymous with positive energy, whereas bondage represents negative energy. Just as a material particle can be excited from a bound to a free state by acquiring energy, a person can acquire freedom from bondage by acquiring energy.
A person can lose freedom by losing energy. What is the source of this energy? Education liberates. It creates self-confidence, courage, equanimity and fair-play in a person. It releases us from ignorance and paves the way for knowledge. It takes us from darkness to light. It gives hope when we are in despair.
Freedom is related to necessity. If our necessities are ignored, we do not enjoy freedom. Anybody can think freely. However, if the society or state imposes constraints in translating thoughts into action, it deprives us of our freedom. If we are not responsible, freedom is of little value.
No one is entirely free or wholly bound. Every one of us enjoys some degree of freedom and is bound in some way or other. Just as opposites coexist in nature, we also have both freedom and bondage. Bondage, rather freedom, binds us together, be it in the family, in society or in a larger entity like the country. In a broader sense, there is universal freedom. Bondage resulting from love and affection, gratitude and sense of duty is a virtue. Sometimes we are bound by laws and rules. We accept this as our duty.
It is the bondage among constituents, rather than their freedom, which is responsible for the stability of a material, too. The science of materials can show how bondage, combined with freedom, leads to extraordinary situations. Freedom of electrons is the cause of electrical conductivity in metals. However, if this freedom results from bondage, then it can give rise to superconductivity of infinite current. Superconductivity sets in when two free electrons of certain opposite quantum characteristics bind together.
Indic philosophy suggests that a soul becomes absolutely free, when it, the jeevatma, binds wholly or is in perfect union with the super-soul, the paramatma. This statement leads to knowledge which proclaims that absolute bondage manifests in absolute freedom. The scientific example appears to be a close congruence of this, though there might be different perceptions.
The relationship between freedom and bondage can be scientifically understood within the uncertainty principle of quantum theory, which states that confinement increases kinetic energy. For example, if we wish to locate an electron by using the particle of light-photon, as a probe, it hits the electron, which runs away. Confinement stands for bondage and kinetic energy leads to freedom. It is justified spiritually on the basis of what Krishna says to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita: "Abandoning all other activities, come into my fold (bondage); I shall free you from all worldly bondages."

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Samrat is a 26 yr old HR professional. On a regular day he reaches office around 10 am and logs in, going into various online communities and chat-rooms. He leaves office around 6:30pm and logs in as soon as he reaches home. He is online almost as long as he is awake. Samrat is only one of the numerous people who live more in the virtual world than in the real one around them.
Samrat knows that.” Life is hectic and it’s very difficult for me to visit and call up my friends on a regular basis. It is far easier to keep in touch with them on line, since most them are on line too. But it is true that the virtual world is becoming very real for us. We are moving away from the world around us.” he says.………………………………………………………………………CourtesyTelegraph
I Derive Joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
