What is stress ?
Stress is the interpretation of the present situation in the past context or future hope.
MANAGEMENT
Managing Health, Money, Business etc increases it. If you manage stress it will also increase. Thus Stress Management is counterproductive. Becoming aware of our interpretations is the key.
AWARENESS
Awareness
is continuous, simultaneous, nonjudgmental and total perception of internal and external environment
RIGHT ACTION
Effortless
Effort is the right action. Happens out of Awareness. Total awareness leads to absolutely right action.
Interpretation
Story of the Sufi with wine and woman Story of Buddha when someone spits on him.
Society makes each other more and more stressfull through advertisement,serials, movies, dramas, gossip,newspapers and result oriented approach which should be process oriented.
A wrong concept
We
are oriented towards having disease and then treating it. We cannot think of health as such. In the same way we want to have stress and then manage it. This is business.
