Why do you feel Stressed for no reason?
Life is stressful. Often, you are tired not because of busy schedule but due to emotional struggle and exhaustion. You are busy but not productive because you are more preoccupied in erratic emotions and unwanted thoughts.
Mind is the greatest gift from God; it is the source of massive energy which you need to harness well. When negative emotions loom high, your own energy works against you. Your unorganized mind is the sheer reason for sleepless night, tension, stress and low productivity.
In the game of football, players can't lose the sight of ball and get lost in their imagination. They have to toil hard and focus to change the course of game in their favor. How can you allow your mind to be distracted while at work?
God has gifted us with extraordinary brain that sets us apart from other creatures. Your intelligence can bestow many glory, you just need to use it well. The difference between the stress and the calmness is not the amount of load in life; it’s how you handle the load.
Suppose you have to lift a heavy dumbbell. If you lift it in wrong way with a poor form, despite strength you may injure yourself. To live a king size life you ought to leverage your strength and energy properly.
When you hold unnecessary emotions, your intelligence constantly works against you. Life becomes tedious and doesn't allow you to work joyfully. You not only lead a miserable life but also make many lives around you miserable.
A lot of stress comes from our cravings. We either want something to happen, or we don’t want something to happen. Pondering over things beyond our control is wasteful and stressful. If we use our brain properly and focus on action, we can lead our life naturally, blissfully and wonderfully.
People embark on new assignments without investing much time to learn about them; as a result they suffer from headache and tension. Can't we spend more time on research before working on it? Live life with ease not with struggle and work joyfully.
Take charge of your mind and use its power in the constructive work. We have control over our actions and not results. Negative emotions drain you and contribute to stress, sadness and anxiety. Never allow a speck of moment to those fatal emotions by keeping your mind busy at work.
