How to stop worrying in life?

Someone asked Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar - I always worry about Money, Health, Childrens, Future Job and am sick most of the time, how can I overcome this state of constant worrying?

Gurudev Answered-

You already realize that you are constantly worried,
but aren't you still surviving even after worrying so much in life!

You might have been worried and wasted your whole past year,
but you are still here whole and complete, isn't it?

And since by your own experience you know your worrying is futile, then why don't you simply give it up?

How to give it up you may ask?

Start by practicing Yoga, Pranayaam and Meditation - Do Bhastrika, Sudarshan-Kriya and speed up the process of not worrying at all.

And if you still think these practices won't work for you.

GO and listen to people who have more problems than you in life,
then yours will appear small and insignificant.

And if even that doesn't work,
It will work for sure, but still if it doesn't.

Go and spend some time in a mental hospital.
listen to the patients, look at their conditions and then thank god that you are only visiting and are not a permanent resident.

And if that still doesn't work!

Go to your nearest cremation ground and look at all the dead bodies that arrive there for cremation.

One day you too will reach there, that's how it ends for all,
then try to realize that what is the point of worrying at all?

Every story is one day going to end, the curtain is going to fall eventually.
There is nothing you can do about it, then what is the point of worrying, keep asking this question to yourself.

Life is full of ups and downs,
Bad times good times will come and go,
Nothing is permanent, nothing stays forever.

Simply keep experiencing life, let it run its full course.
Accept what you can and ignore what you can't.

Worrying won't help you reach anywhere,
it is better to enjoy life while you have it.

Live, Laugh and Love!💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Don't try too hard to fit in, let things fall in place with time!

Trying too hard to fit-in in any group, community, society or network can often lead to a feeling of being left alone. It can also be pointed as one of the reasons behind people feeling lonely or unacceptable at times. But, think it this way, Resistance is a very natural phenomenon, everything in nature resists change at every level. Change can only be brought upon with gradual and positive efforts, that's is the only way, or else it will feel like an act of suppression or intrusion. When we try too hard to fit in, we make ourselves vulnerable to others opinions, we do things which don't actually align well with our core nature, we try too hard for others to like us that at times we even start compromising our self esteem and self-belief for it. This act of getting validation from others and seeking a sense of belonging is what makes us feel lonely and sad when the expected feelings are not reciprocated from the other end. A few things which I can think of, which might help you...

I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am

"I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐚𝐦" Yes! read it again, and let it sink in for a while. This quote by Thomas Cooley says a lot about how we perceive and judge our own selves. How we indulge in the act of being liked, praised and recognized by others and how we lose our own identities to become someone who after a point doesn't resemble the real us. We all start out with a dream, a dream that makes our eyes shine, which makes us all welcome the rising sun, But as we grow up, we let go of those dreams and start doing things that would make our parents, relatives, neighbors or even strangers proud. We shed the wings of our desires only to rest in the safe nests, we get so trapped within our own minds, that we neglect to see the real world. We give up our dreams of a lifetime, just so that some people will one day pat our back. But is it really worth it? Is it really worth to live for an identity...
