Mental Tension and
Worry- The disease of the modern world
The other
day Sindhu, a B Tech final year student told me that she forgot to write her roll number in the
answer book of the examination.
I asked her
why?
She answered
that she was under mental tension and as
such forgot to write her roll number.
People of
all ages starting from a kindergarten student to a senior citizen from all
strata of the society - house wife,
engineer, doctor, politician etc all are
under tension in one way or the other.
But is it
possible to avoid this mental tension?
Swami
Vivekananda says “The calmer we are, the less disturbed our nerves, the more
shall we learn, the better our work be”. But seldom we can find a person leading a calm and peaceful life. Now
a days nervous tension has become a regular phenomenon. Some of the stress
induced diseases are heart attack and high blood pressure. The degree of
tension may differ depending on the place and situation. Some may be undergoing
tension in his office , others may suffer in their home and some others may be
undergoing both in their office and home as well.
Stress can’t
be completely avoided but it can be controlled to a certain extent. Stress can
be positive as well as negative. It is the negative stress which causes nerves
tension, anger, jealousy and other problems.
If we are
able to remain calm under any provocation, to a large extent tension can be
minimized. For this we should have strong will power and faith in our self. We
should learn to live in the present forgetting the past. By practicing
meditation, to a large extent, tranquility can be maintained and also regular
practice will help in removing negative feelings.
