• Just surrender yourself and all your stress at the feet of the divine and believe, have faith that your stress will be taken care of by the Supreme
• When you constantly contemplate on your worries, you unknowingly create them, as things you focus on, you manifest.
• Know that fearing and focusing your thoughts on stress will make you weaker, instead invest in positive thoughts and engage into activities that would keep you busy and happy.
• Recognize the Higher emotions of love, trust, acceptance, faith, forgiveness, self- worth and confidence.
• Practise Meditation as a healthy mind leads to healthy life.
