How Can I Get Relief From Family Stress? Is there any medicine or meditation to remove the stress that I can feel I am trying bt could not able to get myself out from it.

Question

The stress that you feel is not dependent on the stressor i.e. the family. It is entirely dependent on your perception of stress. Life is difficult no doubt, as a general rule, but what we do adds to the stress in our response. We add to the stress of life instead of reducing it or learning to deal with it. Many of us follow a policy of avoidance. We cannot do that all of our lives. So the first thing to do is to change your perception. For example, look at it as a challenge that you would like to meet with a positive outlook. See everything as a gift from God to perform as though you are doing it for Him. God never gives us stress-related stimulus beyond our capacity. If you look at opportunities with spiritual eyes, you know that it is ultimately given by God. Secondly, build a good constitution mentally, emotionally and physically to combat stress. Eat healthily, sleep well, and exercise regularly. Talk about your emotions regularly to a good friend every day. Learn stress management techniques. Do Yoga and meditation. Pray every day to God to give you the strength, and offer your response as a prayer to Him ? you will give your best and you will feel so satisfied when you do it well. You could also talk to yoru family members either by yourself or seek the help of a respected elder. You never know when someone else speaks on your behalf, they may just about succeed.
