I came back last thursday from the journey.My sister-in-law has also come.Tomorrow again Iam having guests for weekend plus Mayday holiday here.Again day after tomorrow some more guests.
I was talking to my sister-in-law about the various aspects of keeping ourselves in equilibrium.She had suffered recently a depression warranting treatment with a psychiatrist.So I was interested in talking to her about the various methods available and the right attitude to keep with regard to stress in life.
Follow some destressing activity including meditation , any method if you are convinced.Otherwise follow only what you feel you can do as otherwise the following itself of a method stresses you.
It is essential that the method chosen is simple and easy to keep in touch on a daily level.For example if one is to choose some activity that needs lot of extra effort like travelling involving other people's help then that activity has to be avoided as you cannot always depend on others.
Do small activities like even growing a plant and watering the garden and even house cleaning.Recently one study has said that women finds satisfaction when they keep their house well cleaned.
Go for a walk and create a group that you can relate to.Evening walks makes you have some interaction with others of same age group and finding that one is not alone with stress helps in recovery.
Have fun cooking something not tried by you for others in one's home.A well appreciated meal is a great healer of wounds and disappointments in life.
Be one with God and your own thoughts for some time at least in a day.So pray and when praying talk to Him to give you strenghth to go through this life.
Read jokes.I like forwards in computer and net friends because of this.
Write your own thoughts.Even this space here is a healer.
Be happy and contented.
Jayamala.
