The Ways To Reduce Stress!!

An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."

1. Pray

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.

12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.

15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.

16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.

17. Get enough rest.

18. Eat right.

19. Get organized so everything has its place.

20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day, find time to be alone.

23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot.. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."

27. Laugh.

28. Laugh some more!

29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.

30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.

35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

How Pranayama helps i curing diseases!!

Practising breathing exercises improve breathing, reduce tension and stress and support the immune system.

The body's immune system plays a pivotal role in the prevention of colds and nasal allergies. Practising the Yog Mudra and breathing exercises improve breathing, reduce tension and stress and support the immune system. The Ling Mudra when practised with Pranayam cures congestion in the chest. Sinusitis can be alleviated considerably by regular practise of these techniques.

Pranayam:
Deep breathing techniques like the Bhastrika help in inhaling more oxygen into the lungs, which helps in alleviating colds, congestion, and sinus. Pranayam naturally massages the air passage in the throat and strengthens the neck tissues. Pranayam should be practised in an open-air setting. Inhale and exhale through your nose rapidly for 30 seconds to one minute. Relax for a few seconds and repeat the exercise. The breath is not restrained at any time during this kriya. This kriya can be repeated for around 7-8 times and should never be practised just after eating a meal.

Rapid Sun Breathing:
The left nostril denotes the moon while the right nostril denotes the sun. Close the left nostril and inhale deeply through the right nostril. Without restraining the breath exhale through the right nostril. The entire cycle should last between 30 seconds to one minute. Repeat this kriya 5-6 times. This technique generates heat energy in the chest and helps to burn accumulated mucus and clear the nasal cavity region. This kriya must be practised outdoors.

Ling Mudra:
Join both palms and entwine the fingers together. Keep your right thumb straight and upright. The upright thumb must be encircled by the other thumb and index finger. This mudra increases the fire element of the body which causes an increase in the amount of heat energy generated in the body. The practise of the Ling Mudra helps in curing cold infections and also heals chest complications arising out of cough tridosh.
