UNDERSTANDING:

This section is on Mindsets- how Inner MINDSETS and patters are involved in the stress that happens to individuals. Understanding of Mindsets how they create stress.

This part will cover few important Mindsets in relation to the stress and also how you can change the stress situation by bringing awareness to Mindsets.

GOALS AND STRESS:

This part shares the understanding on Mindset of being Goal oriented -and the stress that it creates.

How stress happens when goals are not practical and realistic but out of desires and ambitions

How in unconscious madness of chasing goals out of desires or out of fear create stress.

Understanding on psychology of goals. And how we can be different inside, practical and realistic to make life effective and also without stress.

Perfection is the path to stress, tensions, and judgments.

It is an unrealistic approach – where evolution, improvement has no place. Perfection has no simplicity and accepting things as they are.

The solution is in living and doing things with totality. In totality one enjoys the activity, and the best result is just byproduct without any stress.

A story for example of perfection.

One of the main causes of stress in life is living in comparison with others. This Mindset of comparing yourself with others, makes you inferior and superior-and it creates jealousy.

Comparison is unnecessary and takes away the joy of living with resources that one has. There so many areas in life – and one cannot be better than others in every area. And then comparison makes life miserable – stressful.

When you see that-each person is unique and living with uniqueness without comparison is the way to live joyfully.

Examples for insights into comparison and uniqueness.

Almost for everyone – lot of stress happens as one is concerned – what others think about me, what opinion others have, how is my image in the eyes of others.

People live for others when concerned about their opinions. And with that focus on others’ opinions -they miss living life, for themselves, in their own and way. Then there is no contentment in life, only worries and stress.

By being aware one discovers oneself, experience oneself. Only by knowing self -one can become free from others’ opinions, and become-independent, joyful, and relaxed.

When you have a Mindset against doing mistakes, you feel bad when you do a mistake and it results into stress and loosing self-esteem.

Mistakes are human. And mistakes are the best way of learning in life. by learning from mistakes, you become more mature. You becomes thankful to the mistakes when you learn and becomes better person. Then the mistakes don’t repeat.

A joke as insight into – how unconscious living keep repeating mistakes.

Understanding that all the Mindset that cause stress are unnatural, these are learned by education, upbringing and they keep life unhealthy.

When you follow -what other told you to do or not to do… when you live to fulfill the conditioning from upbringing and education, you get stressed.

Mindsets cannot be changed by behaving or thinking differently- and there is no need to change Mindsets either. Mindsets can be dropped and that happens only by being aware.

In awareness and acceptance – the unnatural Mindsets drop, and relaxation can happen. One can live with individual nature, and happily.

Mindsets takes your attention out -awareness brings attention back to self. Then your nature is the source of doing or not doing -and don’t move into stress.
