The word
'stress' originates from the French word 'estrece' meaning 'narrowness' and is
used to depict a limiting or constriction of your power and abilities.
You have
the feeling of being stressed out when you think you have too much to handle on
a mental, emotional or physical level. It also occurs when you view change and
pressure as burdens rather than as challenges.
Anything
viewed negatively has the potential of causing stress regardless of what the
thing may be. ‘I am stressed out’ is a line often repeated by many people in
all parts of the world today.
However,
what makes one person stress-full may be quite an ordinary event for another.
Stress therefore is created not by the event or circumstance itself but by the
way we respond to what happens to us in any moment of our life. We are the
creators of stress and it logically follows that we alone can provide the
solution to it.
Ancient wisdom teaches that the human mind is the root of all human life
experience; that the mind creates thoughts, which become feelings (stress is a
feeling), which in turn prompt us to take action.
Before the feeling of stress is felt, it is created by a certain mind-set
within. If we can alter our way of thinking, we can change the way we feel
about anything.
Simply put, stress is the result of the way we think. And if we develop
the ability to change our thoughts, we have in our hands the power to eradicate
the stress that we feel regardless of what the causes may be.
The many changes life and
business brings often lead to an accumulation of stress. If not managed, or
redirected, this stress leads to toxic build-up that sabotages our performance
and the harmony of our life. Stress is also known to create numerous emotional
and physical diseases if left unattended.
All happiness and
unhappiness, success and failure, sorrow and joy, arise from the mind.
Meditation reveals the nature of your own mind and shows you how to train it. Your
mind then becomes a friend, not an enemy.
