Change: a problem or solution?

Change is an inevitable constant; revolution is the unwritten law and variation is the only indisputable surety. While at one end change is understood to be absolute and predictable; there is also constant bickering when it occurs. If only the mind, body, intellect; and each one’s environment changed in synchrony. Erraticism in the external world is condemned by all; even though eccentricities in one’s own behavior are estimated as defensible. Most of life’s inadequacies would seem fulfilled if one could welcome change: in oneself as well as the world around us…

Stress and related problems

Stress response
If you went out camping in a jungle and saw a lion standing before you, you would exhibit a myriad of thoughts (what do I do now?), emotions (fear, anxiety), and behaviors (run for your life or find your gun and take target). All these constitute the stress reaction, which is also termed as the fright, fight, and flight response. A similar state may be experienced when a driver suddenly slams the brakes of a speeding car to prevent an accident, or a batsman needs a 4 or a 6 in his last shot to win the match. Everything seems smooth in the world as long as the wheels are rolling at a pre-determined pace in every aspect of life. The moment there is a change; there is a fluster of thought, emotion, and behavior to resist that change. This is what constitutes stress: A complete and wholehearted resistance to change.
