If you are under stress, you know the effects of stress. You can’t think straight anymore, you’re always anxious and can’t achieve anything meaningful. That is because of a lack of motivation and poor productivity. Things seem not to go as you would want them to and you are generally not in a great place.
Stress doesn’t only affect your mental health but your physical health as well if left unchecked or unmanaged. In other words, you have a million reasons to make an effort to manage stress and invite peace and happiness. Imagine what you would achieve with constant low-stress levels, inner peace, and soaring levels of joy!
Adopt proven steps and strategies and set your mind and body for dealing with anxiety, stress, and personal loss. Improve your mental health through mindfulness and the wisdom of Buddhism, Zen, and other spiritual practices. Become mindful and find your inner peace and make your life better.
What is happiness then? Is it to have everything you want and to be in control of everything? Think again. Are the people that have control and power truly happy? Well, not more than others. It is not possible to have everything you want. Instead, you can learn to control your mind, to stop being contaminated with desire and aversion. You can learn to recognize desire. You can also learn not to be controlled by it. In no way does this mean that you should lie down and accept everything that happens to you. It just means that you assume a new point of view on everyday life events. By all means, you will change things that you can, but you will also learn to accept those that you cannot.
Look carefully inside yourself, truthfully and objectively, and learn to see those moments. Learn to see them without judgment, and you will be able to make radical changes in your everyday life. Then, you will see yourself as you are right now. One must let go of all illusions, judgment, or resistance to change. You will, of course, stay active in society as the social being you are. If you fulfill your duties and obligations to your family and friends, and all fellow human beings and, most importantly, your responsibility to yourself. This behavior is your path to achieving genuine happiness.
