It is such a vast topic to write on. However let me try as per my own experiecenes.
Stress handling is not easy, but there has to be no fuss about it. Sometimes you are doing it when you do not know about it.
There can be 2 major types Physical and mental stress. Physical stress becase of which we feel tired and cannot move on to work. Physical stress is something which can be overcome easily just by manipulating things in life . If you are working woman and you need to look after house too, allow a maid to do few jobs. Don’t adhere to the things that I have to cook or wash/clean. If your office is very far from office, consider change in job unless you can shift. Changing a job can sometimes makes you compromise on salary and work enviornments. However this compromise is much better than travelling a lot and taking so much stress everyday to reach and come back from work, look after family. Most imp for woman - if you can, allow your male home members to help you or force them to help you/look after you.
Mental stress is very common in indian culture. We hide so many things under tradition and culture that it makes somebody’s life miserable. Reasons- Ego, Compitition, hatred, non-coperative nature and understaning issues or incompatibilty
Now a few things to overcome stress-
If you are Gazals fan, keep those CDs aside for sometimes. Mostly gazals are in deep mood which make you think - this is exactly you avoid. Listen to music on which you feel like dancing!
Keep ART movies away. Watch light movies and try to laugh on the jokes in it, even if they are not that good ones.
Go for outing. Preferabbly in groups/friends. This lightens the family atomsphere and you enjoy more! Go often.
Don’t think of revenage on anybody. Tell the things openly to sort out issues, in case use your sense of humor for others to let know their mistakes!
Most important’Distract’ your mind. Think about what you don’t know. Learn something new- learn cooking or driving 4 wheeler. change your hairstyle or change the way you always dress. Try saree or jeans someday and surprise all. Don’t make life as routine only. change your topics of discussion from new S/w companies paying higher than yours! Prepare for interviews instead of cursing your low pay!
Must exercise and sweat out if you can.
Be good to all . If you think this is not working, be practical to them.
Respect and love family members.
Celebrate small and big. Have a party on b’days, promotions, company change, yours spouse’s pay rise, your kid’s first year result!
