Typewriter16:41 - “To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, after suffering oppression, We will assuredly give a goodly home in this world: but truly the reward of the Hereafter will be greater. If they only knew!”Sunday, May 24, 2009 Honey Bees and Growing Trees / 1:12 AM
This is one of the rare occasions I want anyone and everyone to read my blog. So what're we talking about today? STRESS. Yes, stress. This is just my personal view from my personal experience. I didn't do any research so you can choose not to trust my opinion and to go against it. Just don't spam my tagboard. Ok here goes. Stress is one of the many things we can never avoid; whether at school, work or play. For most, they live on stress and work is play and play is work. It's good to be busy as a bee and grow like a tree but when does stress get the better of you? It is when you LET it control you. When you work for a certain output and put in your best effort, usually you'll get stress. Although stress pushes you beyond your limits, it can also lead you to your downfall. This happens when one gets so caught up in achieving the goal that they lose sight of the fun. I believe that whatever you do for something you believe in and have passion for, shouldn't end up being an assignment. In other words, one should not submit and succumb to stress so much that they can't wait for the end to come and miss out on the fun of the process. One also shouldn't be blinded by goals set by themselves and by others (or what they feel others are implying on them) to the point where you are so busy doing everything that you are not aware that you're doing everyone else's job (which complicates things even more). Don't self imply stress people, it's crazy and it's bad. DELIGATE THE WORK and let the deligated work be done by those in charge of it; just focus on your part of the big picture. And one of the greatest example of succumbing to stress is when someone naturally feels stress even though the task has just started and time is more than enough to achieve one's goals. There's a difference between time management and forcing yourself to run 20km when you're given time to walk the whole way. That's part one of my opinion. So what do you think? Am I the lazy sort? Maybe yes, maybe no. But that's not the point. Part Two: Managing Stress. Okay so how do you guys manage stress? Read a book, listen to music, etc. What if you don't have time to do any of these? Make time. Whether on the way home, or just half an hour at home. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK. That's a minor part of managing stress. In my opinion, the best way to manage your stress is learning to maintain your cool. What if you are really at breaking point and your escape is neither here nor there? Breath. Just breath. Close your eyes, enter your own imagination and breath. Forget everything around you just for 5 minutes or so. This is very important because snapping at people and crying won't do a thing. Just stop whatever you're doing and breath. And seriously, don't snap at others when they tell you to do it. If someone is telling you to do it then that means you're emitting so much negative stress energy that your making others feel... well, like crap. Don't do it in a rush either. Just relax. Learn how to calm yourself down. Managing stress is not about being lazy or procrastinating or leaving things to the last second, it is to let just enough amount of stress remind you that you need to do something and also allowing yourself time to breath, relax and have fun. Chill people. Ouh and cracking jokes helps too. So yeah. That's my 2cents. Enjoy whatever is left of the weekends! :D |
