Description
Praśānta or calmness is a state of body-mind relaxation that most of us want to experience but may have difficulty experiencing day-to-day. The challenge of calming oneself isn’t always easy because the reality of life has a way of moving at such a pace that we may feel we cannot slow down enough to smell the flowers.
Any experience of physical, emotional, and mental stressors is interpreted identically at the cellular level. All stress summates which means that when stress is persistent it will overload the nervous system to keep the sympathetic system on, revved up, and prevent it from turning off. Not checked, stress may impact daily life with more severe, long-lasting symptoms.
No matter our age, stress is the feeling we get when we become overwhelmed and unable to cope with the demands of life, whether imagined or real. Often the first indications of how out of balance we have become are when we feel tired and wired, worn and torn.
Overwhelm manifests when people worry, fear for safety and security, try to juggle too many responsibilities, and procrastinate to meet deadlines.
Mentally, it may manifest as confusion, muddled thinking, scattered attention, and emotionally as irritation, anxiety, fear, defeat, and helplessness.
Physically it is often felt as the knot of discomfort in the tummy, tight neck and shoulders, tension headaches, lethargy, and exhaustion.
You may not always be able to control the circumstances around you, but in every difficult situation, we can choose how we respond and what we make out of it. Breathing deeply, resting, and eating well are a few of the holistic lifestyle strategies to help you to destress and live a more balanced and calm life.
Being kind and compassionate toward oneself, learning to say “no” to too many demands, and prioritizing time to set aside quiet moments for yourself are some of the most important skills you can cultivate that will serve you well throughout your life. After all, a calm mind is a stress-free mind.
