BANGALORE FEB. 13:
Stress is not always bad, as long as we are confident about the situation, it is good for our growth, said Dr B.S. Raghu, Management Consultant.
Delivering the Business Line Club lecture on ‘Stress management', sponsored by Syndicate Bank for the students of Christ University School of Law, he told them that the world is full of disorder but it expects one to live in order and, hence, they needed to manage their life better.
“Stress can be either good or bad. Even falling in love for the first time, causes stress. Sportspersons too undergo stress but it is a good stress. They take it as a game and life is also a game and you must take life as a game,” he said.
Mr Raghu said that stress is nothing but a condition which causes excitement or anxiety. “However, when the situation is out of control, where we feel sad or hopeless, stress is a deteriorating factor known as distress. And, many people react differently to distress,” he said.
When one is under stress, the person feels cheated or victimised and it effects physiologically and psychologically. “You may have headache, pain or you may feel hopelessness, you may be enamoured with self-pity, emotional breakdown, lack of enthusiasm, fear or guilt and this may lead to depression and suicidal tendency,” Mr Raghu said. Hence, he told them not to get frustrated or agitated easily.
“Stress is unavoidable. Learn to manage with stress-busters such as drawing, painting, dancing, window-shopping, picnic, movies and other activities that would take away your stress. You also need to manage your emotions, anger, loneliness, negative attitude, time and money matters really well. Don't become a slave of your emotions. Emotions and sentiments are essential for a colourful and joyous life,” he said. Mr Raghu told the students to forgive and forget some trivial things and sacrifice certain things, which are very necessary. “Be an ocean of compassion,” he added.
Information was also provided to students about “SyndVidya”, the educational product and the interbank mobile payment services launched by Syndicate Bank.
Mr Ruben M, Assistant Professor, Christ University School of Law, proposed a vote of thanks. Fr. Benny, Director, Christ University was also present.
