Hello friends,
hang on.. why is this link hanging above me????
Ouch!! its heavy....
I cant bear its stress...

Oh yeah I am stressing today about stress...
I am not talking about the material stress as in stress, young's modulus etc etc, though we can learn a lot from them as well...
We all know whats stress is.... Hang on!! no???
Well Let me see,
Stress is a generic term used when we feel your actions, activities, physical factors, mental factors impact us as a pressure either physically, mentally or socially..

You see friends once my father use to say all medical problems has engineering solutions and all engineering problems have medical solution..
for an engineer, Just like how a leaf veination can be called biological plumbing system could be an inspiration to drainage system maintenance, your skeletal system is the real inspiration for physical load balance activities.
Similarly we(neuroscience researchers) can learn from material physics or automobile industry that when an engine is overheated it is under stress or when a metal bar is loaded more than its capacity it is under stress.. the solution is simple you use coolant and give the needed fuel to the automobile and you reduce the metal bars burden by distributing the weight...
This is simple and can be used medically as well...
At work place you can delegate your work duties, distribute your work duties, start working like an ant team or be honest about how much you can work...
Your coolant will be your daily water intake and your fuel will be healthy diet...

Some can argue that stress could be due to transgenerational epigenetics, well it is true but this neuroscientist news link which is hanging heavily above us clearly states that there could be a pathway followed in stress and targeting it will clearly reduce it...
May be we can control our prefrontal cortex which is involved in planning and executing a work which thereby reduces the Amygdala's response to stress... If by practice we can train our prefrontal cortex, this method is non conventional approach for stress relief mechanism which can be achieved without doctor's prescription and improve work efficiency.

Try to improve prefrontal cortical activity by training it right from the beginning of any work, even in childhood try not pampering the kids and allow them to learn the art of planning, executing and positive time management....


so friends,
When you are pressed from behind, try to raise up your forehead and don't hunch down :)
Cheers....
