The light in my cube

Break-neck pace

We have created a society where speeding through life is considered fashionable. People drink coffee, drive and call office to say they're late. Then there are others who repeatedly press elevator buttons, as if some magic hand will make it go faster. Its business at light speed.

The result is stress and pressure in the most unexpected of situations. Our body and mind cope with pressure only to some extent. Then the usual after effects kick in.

In a way our mind is also an organ like any other in our body. And to keep it healthy it needs the right inputs and good dose of exercise. I've figure out that the less you multitask the easier it is for the mind to handle situations. As for exercise a weekly schedule of meditation and yoga goes a long way in keeping it healthy.

Another technique that works great is the 'be-here-now' method. How many times has your mind wandered off as you read this post, think about it. Do things that you want to and your mind will stay here and now. But regular mind-exercises will train it to do the same with boring tasks as well.

Set your priorities, do things one at a time, and have a regular time for some mind training, You can beat stress and have it all nice and easy
