One Line Stress - Busters by Swami Chinmayananda

Management Tips
One Line Stress - Busters
Swami Chinmayananda


Even if one of these is applied in our lives, stress can be reduced to a large extent and finally eliminated.

1. Be yourself. Don't imitate others.
You were created an original. Don't die as a duplicate.

2. Work is love made visible. All else is merely labour.
Do what you 'Love' and 'Love' what you do.

3. Stop all comparisons.
Compare yourself with yourself alone and no one else. You are the measuring rod for your growth, not anyone else.

4. Think, don't brood.
To brood is to abuse the faculty of the mind. To think is to put it to use.Don't brood over regrets of the past and anxieties of the future.

5. Keep the mind where the hands are at work.

6. Do the best, leave the rest.
Surrender the anxieties for the fruit of action, to the Lord or at a higher altar.

7. Plan out your work. Work out your Plan.

8. Success is not in the trophy won, but in the race run.
Enquire into your notions of success. What is success and failure for you?

9. What we have is a Gift from Him. What we do with what we have is our Gift to Him.
Count your blessings and Be Positive. Don't criticize, blame or look down upon yourself.
10. Daily prayer and meditation are all wonderful therapeutic agencies in building up peace and happiness within an individual.
