“Stress acts as an accelerator: it will push you either forward or backward, but you choose which direction.”- Chelsea Erieau
Recently,
a few weeks ago I went through an article in Times of India, about a young girl
still in her twenties, seeking euthanasia, because of her mental health. This
news surprised me for two reasons:-
1. Denmark
is a country which tops in happiness index.
2. The
girl barely 28 years of age is physically fit!
For
most of us this incidence is weird, but if we look at, the other side of the
coin, this story presents an alarming story for our country as well. Nearly 60
to 70 million people in our country suffer from common and severe mental
disorders, making India world’s suicide capital with over 2.6 million cases in
a year. The situation is alarming! The main reason being stress related issues.
So the question comes. What should be done to combat this situation? Below given are some powerful mantras or tips which may be useful if practiced-
“90%
of what you are stressing about right now won’t even matter a year from now .Take
a deep breath.” – MEL Robbins.
