Don't worry, Be Happy!

Today's topic is dedicated to a dear reader of this blog who got me to think about the increasing mental health issues and sadness in our society, that is seemingly on the rise these days..!

Well, first of all, I want to clarify that whatever I write about this, will only be from my heart .. And based on my thoughts, so you may or may not agree 😊

Now do you agree that most of us today (no matter the age), are stressed about something or the other?

I, like most of us I guess, had begun accepting this as an inevitable aspect of life I have to face, till I came across the following thought..

There is actually no emotion called stress and what one feels is just a result of his/her inability to manage things right !

I was actually stupefied when I read this! But then I began thinking.. Hey, that's quite right! The moment things start getting out of control, they start causing ‘stress’! 

So maybe if I just ensure that I control more things in my life, I’d be able to reduce that stress!

But a valid argument would obviously be that not everything is in our hands always! Fair enough, but then aren’t you missing out the fact that your reaction or attitude is always in your hands?!

Another interpretation of stress, in the scientific terms (based on my knowledge) is what really happens when you are under ‘stress’!

It is a scientific fact that when you are under stress, your first body part to get affected is your weakest part! What happens is that when you breathe, the air gets trapped in the weakest part of your body, because of which you feel discomfort in your body and hence the stress! 

So more the negativity and pain, more is the stress; and you can get rid of it just by taking care of your mental health and being happy!

   

Yes, that’s all there "essentially" is to the thing that leads to so many problems in our life! And it’s clearly not worth it, so really… why worry?!

Be happy and 😊 always … for as Mr. William James very rightly said: “We don’t laugh because we are happy; we are happy because we laugh”!

All said and done, I'd like to end this post with the following song I'd like you to listen to! 😊

P.S. I really can't say this enough.. Your comments not only give me encouragement, but also ideas for topics of the posts to follow; So please speak up! 😀
