Here's How:
1. Pray Often. Prayer can help you feel more
connected with God, leaving you with a calmer, safer,
more grounded feeling that can act as a buffer against
stress. It can also bring benefits similar to the benefits
of meditation, including lower blood pressure,
increased immunity, and more.
2. Express Gratitude. Although the benefits of
gratitude toward God are more prevalent among older
women than older men, gratitude toward God has been
linked with improved health outcomes, and can reduce
the experience of stress as well. One effective way to
increase your gratitude level is to keep a gratitude
journal, in which you record all for which you are
grateful. Then, you’re left with a list that can act as a
pick-me-up when you’re feeling down, and you get into
the habit of noticing all that is good in your life as you
write about it.
3. Be Intrinsic. Just as there are many different faiths,
there are different ways to experience religion within a
faith. Some people express their spirituality
‘intrinsically’, or in a more personal way, dedicating
their lives to God and to becoming a good person.
Others use religious involvement ‘extrinsically’, or to
meet external needs like finding friends or developing
greater standing in a community. According to
research, you experience greater benefits from being
intrinsically oriented.
What is spirituality?
Spirituality has many definitions, but at its core spirituality
helps to give our lives context. It's not necessarily
connected to a specific belief system or even religious
worship. Instead, it arises from your connection with
yourself and with others, the development of your
personal value system, and your search for meaning in
life. For many, this takes the form of religious observance,
prayer, meditation or a belief in a higher power. For
others, it can be found in nature, music, art or a secular
community. Spirituality is different for everyone.
Looking inward
Try prayer, meditation and relaxation
techniques to access your inner wisdom and help
focus your thoughts.
Keep a journal to help you express your feelings
and record your progress.
Seek out a trusted adviser or friend — preferably
someone who has had similar life experiences — who
can help you discover what's important to you in life.
Sometimes others may have insights that you
haven't been able to discover on your own.
Read inspirational stories or essays to help you
evaluate different philosophies of life.
Talk to others whose spiritual lives you admire. Ask
questions to learn how they found their way to a
fulfilling spiritual life.
Be open to new experiences. If you're exploring
organized religion, remember to consider a variety of
different faith traditions. If your spirituality is more
secular, you might consider expanding your horizons
with new experiences in the arts.
Nurturing relationships with others
Develop effective listening and communication skills.

INTRODUCTION
Stress can either help or hinder one's effectiveness depending upon the
stress level. When the level increases, personal effectiveness increases
when the stress crosses the optimum level, the persons' effectiveness
declines. Too much tension in the string also yields very poor result and
may break the string. Only optimal amount of tension only produces
pleasant music. There are several major sources of stress. The stressors
generate from individual, group, organizational and extra organizational
sources. Job stress is not limited just to things that happen inside the
organization, during working hours. The other organizational stressors a
family relocation, economic and financial conditions, race and class and
community conditions etc.,
This will affect from an inability to perform well in a particular role becau
of misunderstanding over what is required from the role of a boss or
subordinate or because of lack of skills. It may come from overcrowding,
pollution, untidiness and distractions.
Fatigue and Overwork: Here, stress builds up over a long period. This ca
occur where one tries to achieve too much in too little a time, or where o
is not using effective time management strategies.
Stress can have serious consequences on both our health and work
performance. The problems due to high levels of stress can be exhibited
physically, psychologically or behaviourally by the individual. High levels
stress are also associates with ulcers, high blood pressure and
arteriosclerosis. Stress can cause depression; irritation, anxiety, and fati
lowered self-esteem and reduced job satisfaction. Sustained over a long
period, stress can lead to attempts to escape through the use of drugs o
alcohol. The job related stress leads to lower productivity. Lower quality,
high health care cost and increasing employee conflicts.
STRATEGIES:
There are few specific techniques that individuals can sue to eliminate o
more effectively manage inevitable, prolonged stress conditions:
Yoga: Yoga is the most effective remedy for stress. It has been used in o
country for centuries. Pranayaama, Manomaya Kosha, Anandamaya Kos
are useful to cope with stress.
Pace Yourself: Plan the day on a flexible basis. Do not try to do many thi
at a time. Slow down. Think before reacting to negative situations or peo
Avoid the trap of trying to do too many things at a time and then failing
accomplish much.
The success of any plan made by the management depends upon the
controlling function of the managers. Without effective control all
managerial planning is futile. Nowadays, control function does not mean
harsh control techniques adopted by managers which may include strict
physical or monetary punishments rather a more understandable and
realistic measure. The inclusion of spirituality at control level is importan
it helps both, the managers as well as the employees to understand eac
other's problems and point of view in a more reasonable and sensible
manner. The people are looking for leaders who are enlightened enough
provide a visionary leadership with an assertive communication, and
inspiration to make a different. The main reason that today's work force
predominantly behaves irresponsible and uncaring – according to many
managers- is because they were expected to behave like machines, to d
the job without thinking what was right or wrong.
A workplace where people have the feeling that they are an asset for the
organization, the their family and their feelings are appreciated, that the
thoughts on processes at work are heard and seriously considered, a
workplace where there is z connection between top management and th
operational level without many doors that need to be passed first, is a
workplace where everyone will want to stay. This kind of work environm
is possible only when spirituality is a part and parcel of management
function and workers day to day activity.
Unlearn Egos: EGO means Edging God Out. Very important I in us creatin
sense of separateness and we inflict our personalities with pride and
selfishness. Ego keeps us away from reality and makes our perceptions
distorted. We become rude, aggressive and indifferent at work. Instead o
overpowering out ego and throwing away rotten mentalities, we keep on
blowing our own horn about No Overwork without compensation resultin
frustration, fatigue, stress and reduced effectiveness.
As "Patanjali says " The mind is like a clear crystal. It has simply got cov
with dust (EGO) If you want to see life clearly you have to wash all the d
off. A person engulfed with such dirty attitudes will pollute everybody an
everything around him. Ego widens the gap between people and destroy
relationships. The only way to overcome ego is to be patient and
sympathetic and doing work inspired by a higher spirit. The Vedas offer
important lessons to all of us that in order to realize our full potential, we
must get rid of egoism, which breeds from ignorance.
The Sloka of Gita says that do your work and do not wish for results. You
duty is to work and the results are in God's hands. People term this a
propagation of fatalistic attitude amongst masses. In fact, Krishna is not
wrong, only the interpretation is wrong. Krishna is not wrong, only the
interpretation is wrong. Krishna never meant to say Work without reward
what he meant was that you keep on doing your work with full efforts,
energy and concentration. Rewards will automatically follow. But if, whil
working, you keep on thinking and worrying about rewards, your efforts,
energy and concentration on work will get reduced. So herein lies the cr
work dispassionately and it will never bore you henceforth.
