Stress is a global problem faced by all generations, at all levels, more so today, with the kind of lifestyles and workplaces of our times. It is an unknown enemy to fight, an enemy that pervades all time zones, all stages of life, and has no boundaries.
In this dynamic world, stress is a major topic of discussion. It compels mankind to conduct research to find ways to overcome it, to find remedies and implement them practically. Seminars and conferences educating people on mental health management have become popular, are in constant demand. However, in my experience, modern stress management strategies and methods deal with stress using a one-size-fits-all approach, so, their impact is short-lived.
It is quite ironical that we have failed to identify that our ancient Vedic literature and astrological studies categorise stress into multiple levels. There are very clear and precise definitions associated with each of its stages, accurately outlined are the behavioural and evolutionary patterns associated with each stage.
I have explored this subject in depth. I would like to correlate my understanding of the subject with my life experiences at each phase. The objective here is to help the reader to understand his own stress patterns and to correlate the same with the appropriate phases defined in the Upanishads. This would help the reader understand the challenges and the benefits associated with the various approaches of handling stress, more importantly, to know what to expect from the oncoming phase, thereby, understand the kind of measures that have to be adopted for stress management.
I strongly believe that by adopting these best practices, one can strive and achieve physical, mental, and emotional as well as psychological health, also many other long-term benefits that one aims for.
