Why Stress Management is a Key Skill You Need

Stress! This word with six letters brings many emotions.

What is this stress? Generally, when we as individuals go through life and work constraints & demands, it causes stress. Demand frustrates an individual to reach their desires, whereas constraint prevents an individual from doing so. We psychologically believe that non-fulfilment of demand means loss of something & the loss of most precious & sought need. The fact of life is that most causes of stress are unavoidable in life. Knowing what causes this & how work can reduce the pressure of those causes & the burden of stress is important.

Why is stress always considered as a burden only, the other side is that it is as a normal fact of life which is experienced by all of us. Stress does not need to be always classified as dangerous. It can be positive as well. It can be a motivator for life as well. Stress is an unavoidable part of life but we must change the way we view it.

In the rich traditions of India, we have different techniques put in place to manage stress. Meditation, yoga, Pranayama, Deep Breathing, Muscle Relaxation, etc… and many more techniques exist, which work as strong antidotes not only for stress but many other different illnesses. These ancestral mechanisms lead to positive coping techniques for stress management.

We know that perception matters a lot in our life. When I am stressed, my breathing gets faster, which may turn into anxiety, & anxiety leads to mental & physical problems. So, if I change my thought process to – at the current moment fast breathing means more oxygen to brain, which means deeper, sounder & clearer thinking. Thus, I should be able to move onto deep breathing which is essential for me at this moment to channelize the thoughts. My perception with these alternative views in different situations will make me concentrate more on the positive side of stress management.

Yoga is not only a set of asanas, but it is the union of body, mind and soul. It is a highly scientific practice with deep understanding on how to keep one’s body fit and mind calm and composed.

“Mindfulness” is one of the core pillars of SOIL that helps us to be more aware of our own self and aligns us to be in the present moment. This is well experienced with an exposure to Yoga and Meditation that is a part of the SOIL Curriculum. It is taught by student favourite Susie Ma’am, where students are encouraged to assimilate the practice of yoga and meditation in their day-to-day life.

SOIL is proud to be one of the few Business Schools to have incorporated a complete module on Yoga and Meditation in the regular curriculum of the post graduate programs.
