Mental Tension and
Worry
The other day Sindhu, a B Tech fifth semester student told me that she forgot to write her role 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 role 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 mental 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 work, others may suffer
in their home and some others may be undergoing tension 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 that contributes to nerves
tension, anger, jealousy and other related problems.
If we are
able to remain calm under any provocation, tension can be minimized to a large extent. For this, we should have strong will power and
faith in our self. We should learn to live in the present forgetting the past.
