How to overcome stress and worry

Nervous stress and worry has become and accepted part of life for most people. This partly due to the age in which we live, where there is so much rush, noise and tension. It is also due to the fact that that many of us allow outside, circumstances to dictate our inner feelings and attitudes.

We shall recover our serenity when we change the control from outside to inside. Here are a few practical steps we can take to over come nervous stress and worry.

1Begn the day with morning affirmation. For example “Today I will keep my serenity” Repeat it two or three times on waking Let it go through your mind as you shave wash or dress. Write it on a small card and put it in your pocket. During the day look at it occasionally. In this way you will impress upon your subconscious mind the main theme of your life for the day.

Control your thoughts. Only you can control your thoughts since no one else determines the things you think about . Nervous stress and worry begin in the mid . they cannot enter your mind unless you allow them to enter. If you want to carry out your affirmation . kept a constant watch upon your thoughts. You think worry before you feel it. So the big thing is to watch the thoughts.

Thank God for your blessings. When stress comes, turn your mind fast away and offer thinks giving to God. There are many things in you life for which you ought to be thankful. You cannot be thankful and worry at the same time. When you are feeling apprehensive begin to thank God for the blessings you have . this is a sure way to recover peace and serenity.

Enjoy life’s happy moments.

Make the most of every joyful experience. Don’t let any experience pass without enjoying it to the full. Don’t spoil it by thinking that it wont last . life is given to us to enjoy . live it to the full and don’t let anyone or any thing rob you of the best.

Keep outwardly cheerful. Your feelings may be quite different. If you are miserable because you cannot mix easily with people no one will want to get to know you. If you always express dissatisfaction. Everyone will avoid you. No one wants to be with someone who is depressing . it is a well-known psychological fact that you can achieve something by acting as though you have got it. So force yourself to be outwardly cheerful and you will gradually become inwardly so too.

Enjoy your work. For some people this is easy because they have interesting jobs. For others it is not so easy. Try to get interested in you r job. Be interested in the people you work with . find out all you can about the job you are doing, and what is the end results. If you cannot do what you want, you can always want what you do.

Learn to relax. Programme your day in such a way that you have time to relax. If you have only a few spare moments, just sit down quietly and let go. You can do this any where. At home-in the park- or slip into quite place. As you “let go” think of a picture that brings you peace a field of daffodils, green grass, a quietly flowing river, a gorgeous sunset etc. you will be surprised how refreshed ou will feel afterwards. There is not serenity without relaxation. So relax!

Face your worries make time to face the “big “ worry . set aside a time for “worrying” force yourself to worry. Look at the thing you are afraid of in the face. Write it down. As yourself  if there is anything you can do about it. If there is , do it at once. If there isn’t put it aside till tomorrow’s “worrying time” in this way you will force yourself to act and will free the rest of the day from worry.

If you follow these eight very simple steps you will soon notice that the tension begins to lessen, and you will be well on your way to become independent of circumstances

One final word. Dr Claire weeks used . to suggest to suffers from “nerves” Face , accept float, let time pass! These four instructions have transformed the lives of many people why not transform your own?

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

Remember how the ancients behaved and mark also how others do now, like corn the mortal, ripens and like corn he is born again.

The whole world is stricken with woes caused by the individual themselves, r by Nature, seen and unseen. That being the condition, every living being deserves to be pitied; who possessed of thought, would then be hostile to any? Supposing one believes, “Other beings are happy; I alone am so abject and powerless” still one ought to be in good sprits! For the outcome of hatred is only loss. If others person bear unabated malice towards one, still the wise man ought to consider them as objects of extreme commiseration, thinking “Ab! these are steeped in their excessive delusion” the whole universe is a spreading –out of the Omnipresent Lord Hence the discerning person must view it without partiality, and as his won self. God, men, beasts, birds and tree-these, though existing apparently different, are the veritable configurations of the infinite all –pervading Lord. He who is aware of this must look upon the entire sentient and insentient creation as his own self; because the Supreme beginning less Blessed Lord . Who is never subjected to any change by the creation , becomes propitious and when He is gracious miseries die away. Vishnu Purana.

 

 

 

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 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 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

World needs leaders with a strong will.

 

Sunday, 18 November 2012

World needs leaders with a strong will.

We need leaders who cannot be brought; whose word is there bond; who put character above wealth; who possess opinions and a strong will; who are larger than their vocations; who do not hesitate to take  chances; who will not lose their individuality in a crowd; who will be as honest in small things as in great things; who will not lose their individuality in a crowd; who will be as honest in small things as in great things; who will make no compromise with wrong; whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires; who will not say they do it “Because everybody else does it; who are true to their friends in adversity as well as in prosperity, who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hard-headedness are the best qualities for winning success; who are no ashamed or afraid to stand for truth when it is unpopular; who can say “no” with emphasis although all the rest of the world savs “yes”.

Ten things.

There were ten things for which no one has ever been sorry. For doing good to all; for speaking evil of one, for hearing before judging; for thinking before speaking; for holding an angry tongue; for being kind of the distressed; for asking pardon for all wrongs; for asking pardon for all wrongs; for being patient towards everyone; for stopping the ears to a tale bearer and disbelieving most of the ill reports.

Be Wise during wedding season

If you are a guest at a wedding;;

Do no waste food . it I tempting to pile your plate with the mouth watering delicacies, but take only as much as you can eat.

Do not litter the venue of the wedding. Put down used plates, napkins , cups etc.., in their assigned place.

If there is a wedding in your family….

Cut down on the use of electricity by not having too many lights to decorate the premises.

Ensure that the volume of music is not so loud as to disturb other;

Explore the possibility of using traditional leaf plates. They are more hygienic and also bio-degradable.

Bursting of lour crackers is not the right way to celebrate. The smoke and the noise not only pollute the environment, but are harmful to health. (courtesy Health)

Age is a quality of Mind

Age is a quality of mind, if yo have left your Dreams behind, If hope is cold if you no longer look ahead if your ambitious fires are dead then , you are old.

Best and Happiest man

The best man is he who most tries to perfect himself and the happiest man is he who most feels that he is perfecting himself.

The best state is that in which bad men are not allowed to hold office, and good men are not allowed to refuse office.

You are not one person but three the one you think you are, the one other people think you are and the person you really are.

Faith does wonders!

A man had to cross a turbulent river to reach the other side for an important occasion. There was no boat in sight. He however saw a Guru nearby to whom he went and explained his problem. The Guru gave the man an amulet and said. My son , keep this amulet with you, have faith in it and you will be able t cross the river even without a boat”. Truly, the ma believed that he could walk across the river However, midway on the river, curiosity got the better of him and he opened the amulet to see the ‘magic’ that it contained. He saw the name of LORD written on it. He said to himself”, Is that all?” The moment he said this he had lost his faith and the unavoidable happened . He drowned! Courtesy Kshetrvani “

The True Charm and Power of Vedanta

One of the greatest teachers of humanity, Sri Ramakrishna, has taught us that the glory of the Lord is not so much His omnipotence, His infinite majesty, His irresistible will, as in His condescension to stoop to the level of His devotee in the capacity of one equal to or even inferior to him, Sir, Krishna who is the human embodiment of the infinite One, sys; Those who give up all others thoughts and exclusively worship are mediate upon Me. I look after and provide for. Again he says; Those who are more inclined to the world, such as women and the commercial and serving classes or people –even they realise the highest ideal, if they take refuge in Me. Even a man of very low propensities should be regarded as a holy man. If he worships Me with exclusive devotion Hie ways are perfectly right. This man will son become religious and realise eternal peace. So, O son of Kunti , proclaim before the world that My devotee is never thwarted in any way.

How are we to reach Him? ‘Whoever will offer me some leaves, some flowers, some water , that I shall accept , if offered with a heart full of devotion.’ It is to be noted that the condition demanded is –if offered with a heart full of devotion’. But is it not officiousness on the part of a man to offer that which does not belong to him? Does not everything belong God. Flowers , leaves , sandal paste, even our own selves, the whole universe, all belong to God . Still they can be offered, if offered with devotion. There is one thing in us that does not now belong to God –love, This love I direct towards my wife, children and worldly things. It may even degenerate into lust and avarice. It is fully my property . therefore the Lord says that if the offerings are made to Him with love and devotion, He accepts them.

 

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.

How to become popular in your office?

 

Monday, 30-June- 2012

How to become popular in your office?

Leave your home worries at home and office worries in office.

Be eager to learn from anyone and be eager to give information especially when asked.

Dress neatly and in a way that suits the type of work you do.

Be cheerful and courteous at all times.

If you have to use the telephone be fast at it.

Be generous with your praise lavish with kind and encouraging words and prompt with your thanks.

But be restricted with criticism. 

Laugh with others never at them, but when the joke  is on you , laugh at yourself .

Be punctual at your seat in the morning and after lunch . If you work well, you should be able to leave at closing tie, but do not rush out as if the building is on fire. Clock-watchers are never watched for promotion!

When you are in the wrong, admit your mistake. If questioned, give explanations, never excuses.

If these are practised well, you will not only be a success, you will positively be considered the most popular person in your organisation.  – Inspirational Quote

Good manners

Good manners render a superior amiable, an equal agreeable and an inferior acceptable.

They smoothen distinctions, sweeten conversations and make everyone in the company pleasant. They produce good nature and mutual kindness.

Manners are the blossom of good sense and good feeling.

A man of good manners is free from rudeness. He is well behaved, civil, courteous and polite.

Go to heaven in rags.

Better go to heaven in rags than to hell in embroidery.

Only hurts worse

If the truth hurts, putting it off only hurts worse.

Politeness is like an air cushion; there is nothing in it but it soften the bumps in life.

Brain Teasers

For whom is the reform hardest?

To those who recommend if tor others.

When you are not concerned about it.

What is life?

Life is what happens to us while we are making others plans.

What is gossip?

It is hearing of something you like about somebody yo do not like.

Why only one tongues when we have two ears and two eyes

So that we should hear and see more than we speak

What is the shortest distance between two people?

A smile.

What is the inner voice that warns us that someone may be looking?

It is called conscience.

When does a habit become a hobby?

When it begins to cost money. – Inspiration Quote

 

 

Quotes from  the true charm and power of Vedanta.

There are degrees of earnestness and our success varies accordingly, as is shown by different temperaments. Some are exceedingly slow in their nature and do not have any power of determination of perseverance; while others are wonderfully energetic and ready to sacrifice even their lives in their attempts. Sri Ramakrishna gives a parable to this effect of two peasants who were working in there fields to bring water. The wife of one came and asked her husband to leave his work until the next day. As it was late, the man after a little hesitation gave up and went home. The wife of the other came and urged him and scolded him, but the man was determined to finish  his work. At lest , after a whole day’s toil, he was able to bring the water tint his field and could take his rest in peace, knowing his task has been accomplished. So long as we lack in steadfastness and discrimination and waste our energies by jumping form one thing a to another we cannot succeed in anything. No matter what path we follow, we must learn to be steady and faithful, without this no knowledge is obtainable. “There is no wisdom to the unsteady, and no meditation to the unwise, and to the unmeditative no peace; to the peaceless how can there be happiness?.

Tips For A Successful Joint Family System

If we were to revive and revamp the joint family system. We need to think how we can learn from the mistakes the we made in old joint family system and create a new system with the insight gained from the experiences of nuclear and joint family .

Here ar some hints that can be implemented differently from the old system  to make the ‘joint family system’ a success.

Mutual Love And Respect.

One of the major reason why the present day generation is desperate to break out of the joint family is the attitude of the older generation to impose their views . In some families the father’s word would be the final word and nobody could dare say or do anything against it. Such an autocratic style of leading a family leads to repression and suppression giving rise to feeling of discontentment and unhappiness.

If the joint family system is laid on the founding stone of mutual and genuine  love and respect for each and every member (including children) then the system is sure to be a success. It helps to keep in mind that love, respect and affection are the courtesies that can be only expected  and not demanded. We can expect these precious actions by giving them first . For example, you cannot expect. Your son or your daughter to have respect for your advice and suggestions. If you cannot demonstrate love and respect towards them through your actions and words and by being sensitive to their Individual aspirations and ways of thinking.

Open and  Honest Communications; Family members need to communicate openly and honestly with one another. The elders in the family must encourage and create and environment conducive to open communication. In the absence of such an environment, family members can feel  repressed and suppressed that can lead to discontentment, Non judgmental  listening and demonstrating mutual trust are necessary to help family members open up to one another

One of the reasons that disintegrated the old joint family system was the constant interference and meddling by elders  in the matters of youngsters. Another important aspect of  communication is knowing when NOT to communicate. In other words , it is important to give one another space and respect the boundaries of each other . Living under one roof dos not have to be transgressing the personal space of the members. Personal space is more mental than physical. If a joint family system has to succeed, recognizing and respecting this space is very  important.

Realistic Expectations Of Members of Members; It is important that members in a joint family system feel accepted fro who they are and as they are. The crucial part of acceptance of one another is acceptance of our own weakens and limitations and that of others. By doing  this , expectations of members for one another become more realistic. Realistic expectations help us to be more tolerant of weaknesses of one another . Having unrealistic expectations of others is often the root cause of disappointments and discontentment

Acknowledgment of And Being Grateful For what it is. When more then one family live together, if brings together members of different strengths. One of the great advantages of this is that different strengths of different members can be potentially enriching to the family and in turn provide a sense of fulfilment to the members. For a joint family system to be a place where the members feel valued and nurtured, acknowledgment of the strengths and different positive aspects that each member brings to the family being grateful for the same is useful and even necessary.

A joint family system also can become a training ground for the future generation to learn and develop attributes and skills of living  in harmony with fellow citizens in a society . if our current family model is reflective of a lifestyle that is based on selfish existence and intolerance to others views when how can we expect the society to be different  A joint family system can help build a society that is more tolerant of personal differences in views and thoughts and whee people appreciate and carry forward the values of mutual respect, love and cooperation.

Quotes from  the true charm and power of Vedanta.

This is the watchword of all religions and religious teachers. Single-hearted love for God is also the aim and object of renunciation. No violence or hardheartedness is necessary in renunciation. It is a natural growth of the heart . when we love God with our whole heart and soul, there is no room for anything else and renunciation become easy. But renouncing does not mean running away from family, friends and relations, or being cruel to them. One can cultivate spirit of renunciation in one’s  home by practising non-attachment and unsafeness. The question may be asked, What do we gain by it? The highest reward for there is no greater good than to love God above all external things and to train knowledge of the Supreme.

But, if He exists?

Adaptability- most desirable habit for success.

Swami sivanada

Adaptability is a virtue or noble quality by which one accommodates to others, whatever their nature or temperament. This is a mos desirable habit for success in life and has to be developed slowly.

Adaptability is the knack of winning the hearts of others and ultimately, the battle fo life by a little bit of bending. If you want to adapt yourself to all. You must be flexible, humble and simple, gentle and soft. An adaptable person shares what he ahs with others. He bears insults and hard words. Adaptability kills selflessness and develops universal love.

The world runs on adaptability. one who knows the art of adaptability can live happily in any environment. An adaptable person can move about harmoniously with anybody in the world.  Adaptability give immense strength and profound joy. It develops a strong will and balance of mind. Adaptability develops the feeling of oneness our unity of live (Courtesy ; “Yoga”)

Make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens.

For the last 10 years we bark at everyone.

One day, God created dog and said; “Sit all day near the door of the house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past . For this, I shall give yo a lifespan of twenty years”. The dong said, “That is long time to be barking . How about ten years and I will give you back the other ten?’God agreed.

On the next day. God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks and make them laugh. For this, I shall give you a twenty year lifespan”. The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That is pretty long time to perform . how about I give you back ten years like the Dod did?” God agreed.

On the next day, God created the cow and said; “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family . for this , I shall give you a lifespan of sixty years”. The cow said, “That will be a tough life for me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I shall give back the other forty? God agreed again.

Next day, God created man and said.” Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this , I shall give you  twenty year. “ But man said, “Could you possibly give me may twenty , the forty the cow gave back, the monkey’s ten years and the dog’s ten years. That makes eighty? “. Okay’, said God.

That is why the first twenty years eat, sleep , play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we work hard in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren. And for the lat ten years we sit on the veranda and bark at everyone.

Quote from The true charm and power of Vedanta

The “Dhamapada”, or Path to Virtue.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks ora acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.

All the we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up o four thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that neve leaves him.

The virtuous delights in this world, and he delights in the nest; he delights in both. He delights and rejoices when see the purity of his own work.

Earnestness is the path of immortality , thoughtlessness the path of death. Those who are in earnest do not die; Those who are in earnest do not die; those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 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.
