"Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with
their minds." Albert Einstein
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can
imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.
stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought,
a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities
become limitless.
Stress Management
Let us understand one interesting reality. When there are so many living beings on this earth, why does a
human being alone need counseling?
Its because when all the other living beings start walking within few seconds after birth, man alone needs
to be protected for quite some time. Slowly, he learns to live on this earth. This is the major difference
between animals and human beings. That is why animals live in forests and human beings need a society
to live his life. He needs care, protection, love and various feelings to exist on this earth. If these are
missing in life, he starts feeling insecure. At this stage even a very great Emperor or a king also looses
directional thinking.
To reinforce, and re-establish his faith and confidence in himself, he needs counseling. If he is not
provided counseling, he may become abnormal.
Counseling is assistance extended to a needy person, when he is perfectly normal. In counseling there is
no medication or clinical treatment provided. It is tremendous effort and unlimited patience from the
counselor, which brings change in the counselee. It is a planned attempt to drive home basic realities of
life in a systematic method. It is an attempt to change oneself, so that world appears to be a beautiful
place to live.

Strategies To Reduce Stress: Take control, Manage your time instead of letting it manage you. Use a todo list, follow a written plan, set goals and follow through. Avoid procrastination (defer action): a major
cause of stress. Make a realistic list of things you need to do each day. Do the most important things first.
That way, even if you don't finish the list, you get the most important things done. Take a break:
Sometimes it is better to get away from the situation for a short time. Take a brisk walk, focus on pleasant
thoughts. Then, go back to the task feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever it is you have to do.
Join the crowd: Even though you may think you are the only person in the world who is experiencing
stress, the fact is that everyone experiences it sometime. Talk to someone: Find someone you trust,
discuss the problems and look for solutions Put it in perspective: Chances are, this is only one small part
of the rest of your life
Visualize: Sit comfortably and think of a favorite place. Imagine yourself in a successful situation Breathe:
Sit quietly, and breathe deeply and slowly. Continue for five or six breaths. It is calming and the extra dose
of oxygen increases the brain's thinking ability. Lighten up: Take responsibility for your feelings. When you
get angry, take a break and cool down before you act. Learn always to count from one to ten or more.
Use it: A little stress is a good thing. Athletes use it to increase performance. If you are experiencing a
small amount of anxiety, it can help to keep you active and alert. Use it to increase your performance.
