A novel stress buster: a need-based one
Please see, it is easy for anyone to say, yes, I want it. There are not many who can say; no, I don’t want it, or no, I don’t want it now. It is always good to be not having. So say ‘no’ to that you don’t want to or are unable to have.

Stress is the order of the day. Most of us are in an all out effort to make our both ends meet exceptionally luxuriously, and in this process we naturally get stressed. Still different people have different types and intensity of stresses. Some are just stresses for its name’s sake. Some stresses are worth a little headache. Some go for a couple of days’ sleeplessness too.

Some stresses are so severe that the sufferer may lose a few hairs on a daily basis or lose their colour the same way. Among all these, there is one thing common. All the stressed are unhappy. There is no moderate unhappiness, and extreme unhappiness or minimum unhappiness.

Unhappiness does not have degrees and dimensions. If you are unhappy, you become sad. When you are sad, you are depressed. Depression leads to serious physical and personality disorders. We may then have to pay dearly for it. So stress needs to be busted, and there needs to be a universally acceptable and easy to follow stress buster.

Obviously, its need is felt much more today than ever before not because the days we live by are highly stressed, but because the ways we follow to make our both end meet are against our needs. The problem lies in our attitude to our needs and their corresponding deeds. So these are the two words that need to be addressed in order for us to bust our stresses. They are ‘needs’ and ‘deeds’. There is virtually no stress that does not emanate from these two because our needs are dictated by our hedonistic greed and our corresponding deeds are perfectly in line with the magnitude of our greed.

Now you know what gives you stress. Now you know who makes you stressed. And now you know how to de-stress you. If you do not know it by now, there is a little room for stress again; stress generated from your being unable to see what is ‘needed’ and what is not so needed.

Please see, it is easy for anyone to say, yes I want it. There are not many who can say; no, I don’t want it, or no, I don’t want it now. If you could let your inner self take a decision when you are pitted against an ‘yes or no’ proposition, you are distressing yourself. It is always good to be not having. So say ‘no’ to that you don’t want to have.

It is simply this ability to distinguish between what you need and what you do not, and thereby decide what deeds are needed for meeting your daily needs, that makes you either stressed or not stressed.

So, all the stressed of the world, here is your stress-buster. It is for your grab. And be careful while grabbing it. Only grab what you actually need. Too much of it will give you stress again. Take it enough to meet your both ends meet. When you feel that you have got enough of it, feel free to give the rest of it to others. Giving something to others has always been a stress-buster.
