Travel Lite - a Stress Management Perspective
How to Stop Being Stressed in These Dynamic Times?
As I travel the length and breadth of India conducting corporate seminars on various soft skills and stress management I come across this new breed of executives.
Travel Lite is a philosophy, which I have come up with to solve some of the problems related to stress in this busy world of ours.
1) Get rid of the past baggage:
Most of us spend a lot of our lives thinking about past failures, setbacks and assumptions, which make our lives, seem horrible to live.
Getting rid of the past baggage means to treat the past as a teacher and learn from it. Take the lessons and drop the rest. Flush it out from your system. Until you flush out the past, you have no space for the new.
2) Get rid of the technological baggage:
How many cell phones do you use?
Do you need your laptop and your blackberry?
Do you need to be on both Orkut & Facebook?
We generally use only 20% of the items that we buy, however we end up maintaining the entire 100%. Which means, that we are a drained lot at the end of the day, and 80% of the items draining you are not helping you at all.
3) Get rid of the emotional baggage:
Stop carrying the emotional hurts of interpersonal conflict. Some of us carry so much emotional baggage that it becomes difficult to operate at our optimal level. Imagine trying to run a marathon while carrying somebody on your back all the time. I agree it's difficult to do this however can you put that baggage aside for some moments and take a break.
Ideas for action:
- Take technological breaks in a day, i.e. time spent without the cell phone, laptop or any other gadget switched on.
- Take a break from yourself; stop taking yourself seriously, your life depends on it.
- Decide how much anxiety a thing is worth and refuse to give it any more.
- Adopt a new philosophy, How about this one?
- Learn from the past, look forward to the future with anticipation, Live for the moment. Remember to Travel lite
