Let's get started

What is stress?

Stress is tension or worries that come to you with external or internal changes. You drown yourself in figuring ways to make things the way they were. Our mind is wired in a way that forbids “changes” be it internal or external. 

Why do you stress?

People stress because of the “lack of adaptibility”, they stress less when they are more adaptable to the environment they live in but this “adaptability” stuff comes with practice. You may think you are not blessed enough to “adapt” to “changes”, well it's NOT. Nobody is blessed. People work hard to get what they want and when they achieve it you call it “overnight success” or “blessing”.

What is the role of this “stress” word in your life?

It plays a tad role in your life, only if you know how to manage it. Everything is controlled by your mind, but often you give that “remote” to your external or internal circumstances, the moment they start to govern you, you feel that imbalance.

The reason behind domination by circumstances is because you think adapting to changes is “dangerous”, as you don't know what will be the outcome of this change, it can be negative, it can be positive or it can be neutral. The probability of negative outcomes haunts you. That's the point when circumstances dominates you. Your growth curve undergoes a sudden downward slope.

Learn to acknowledge that there is a change. Acknowledge that you are stressing about it. The more you suppress it, the more it dominates you and circumstances drive you. 

How can you get rid of stress?

A few days back, I came across this book named “Breaking up with stress”. It consists of some mind-blowing facts to lead a Hakuna Matata life. It is Parushi Kalra's debut self-help book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Parushi kalra, a Chartered Accountant based in Jaipur, Rajasthan in India. She has previously worked as a Financial Model Auditor and has almost 6 years of experience in the same.

Being a CA, she has completed a short course in creative writing from Symbiosis School of liberal Arts in Pune. Nobody expects that right? But she did totally out of her interests in writing. It was her life long dream to inspire people with her writings.

Kudos to this woman :)

 ABOUT THE BOOK

Gives you knowledge of what “stress” is, what “stressors” are with examples of people she is acquainted with. The different types of stress - Eustress & Distress with explanation.

It teaches you the science behind stress. How our mind reacts to a situation and stresses out. Association of the amygdala, CSRS, HPA and how they prepare our body for “flight or fight” situation. There's this change in blood sugar levels, heart rate, muscles and immune system. You will be pretty much moved by what “stress” can do your mind and body.

Some people think it's cool to brag how you stress about small things and how it is way cooler to stress 24/7 in this era. COME ON!! it's stress we are talking about not of some new trend. It is not cool because ‘the words you speak become the house you live in.’

She explains “Selye's syndrome” or “general adaptation syndrome”. Hans Seyle is the father of stress research. The whole ‘Seyle's stress theory’ is explained.

 

She talks about the 5'A of pre-planning, a method she devised. It consists of agenda, arrange, allocate, abolish, alarm. You can read this is in more detail in her book.

 We often stress out in different facets of our life be it in our work or relationships. There's this amazing table she used to explain the different ways by which you can outrightly prompt your mind into stressing less.

Prompting your mind into stress less or maybe changing something in you is not always easy. It takes about 21 days to change a habit which is proved by Maxwell Maltz.

Parushi guides you through the different levels of understanding and acknowledging stress. There's a lot more to learn from her book. I completely loved this book, it is the best one out there. For those of you, who are stressed out a lot. Give this book a read.
