Relaxation

In today’s scenario it seems that every sphere of our life is glued to tension or anxiety. We are straining ourselves for our so called obvious reasons. But what we do not realize is the extent to which we are over pressurizing ourselves and its eventual consequences. We must understand that our body and mind is a complex system. After being strained beyond a threshold, it stars showing adverse implication. Irritation, mood swings, lack of concentration, short attention span, lose of appetite, insomnia etc are the endless outcomes of tension.

Relationship of stress and mental attitude is significant. Some of the situations that lead to stress or effect the mental attitude of a person are self generated or their occurrences are beyond human control; for example death, incurable disease, natural calamities, accidents, injuries etc. During these stressful situations, arising due to grief, people show their innate responses in a negative manner. The intensity of grief or sorrow decreases after some time. But for most of us our daily life is very stressful because of our day-to-day experiences. In other words, our anxiety level is determined by the way we give meaning to our experiences.

Relaxation is the key word for rejuvenating ones mind and body. As a step to eliminate stress from our life, it is important to estimate our own responsiveness towards it. Tried and true method for combating stress includes - conversation with friends and relatives, engaging in some form of exercise and taking up self-comforting & relaxing activities (such as favourite hobby, cooking, gardening, music, etc.). Anybody can have little space in their busy day – just sipping a cup of coffee or a short span of siesta or spending some time with family and pet makes a huge difference. Having little time for your personal space is essential. One should realize the importance of health, as it is the only way to enjoy wealth.

Mode of relaxation can be anything. But for any individual it is important to relax one’s mind and body for a while, so that it can be recharged for facing the challenges of a new day absolutely fresh
