    Lifestyle Management Stress

    What is lifestyle ?

    Lifestyle is nothing else but ‘way of living’. Good Lifestyle is not about lavish living and it is not something that is available only for very rich people. It is available for every single human being.  It requires understanding of facts related to wholesome living and making small corrections in our living ways by making sensible and healthy choices. The changes required are small and simple but the positive impact of these changes on our life is considerable. It has three components :

    1. Awareness : Getting factual information about good living.
    2. Choices : Opting for healthy and positive choice.
    3. Action :  Persevering with healthy choices with commitment.

    Why lifestyle is significant ?

    Just like sensible investments which give you good returns, sensible and healthy lifestyle give a quality life with abundance of good health both at mental and physical level, along with mental peace, joy, satisfying relationships and realization of self potential. Poor or faulty lifestyle has been implicated in many dangerous diseases like Heart Disease, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Atherosclerosis, Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer, Chronic Liver Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Osteoporosis, Stroke, Chronic Kidney Disease, Arthritis etc. It is also responsible for complaints like stress, depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders etc. Apart from these physical and mental complaints, bad lifestyle also results in lack of energy and poor efficiency which results in lack of growth and achievement in life. It can also directly or indirectly affect success and satisfaction in relationships. On the other hand, Good Lifestyle improves the overall quality of life and helps in dynamic living with positive health.

    Determinants of Lifestyle

    • Organized life  
    • Organized life means creating order and system in life.
    • It is done by allocating due space, time, money and effort to different things, tasks or aspects of life.
    • Making a ‘to do’ list, diary or planner helps in organizing life.
    • Setting up priorities and giving due consideration to different things, task or aspects of life helps in organizing.
    • Organizing life helps in giving control over life, helps in better planning, improving efficiency & achievement.
    • It avoids life becoming messy, reduces stress and saves time, space, money & effort.
    • It must be done keeping in mind own and family needs in consideration.
    • It must have scope of flexibility to save life from becoming mechanical and monotonous. 

    Harmony and Moderation

    • Harmony in life is something similar to harmony in music. When notes are in harmony, music is pleasing. Similarly when a person is in harmony in family, with friends & relatives, with environment, at work place, in community etc, there is minimum conflict. This saves emotional energy and keeps motivation high. Harmony with environment also improves health. Positive combination of parts into whole is harmony and it is based on the fact that welfare of whole results in welfare of parts. So when family members live in harmony, peace prevails & family grows and all family members gain. Same applies to human and environment combination.
    • Moderation refers to avoidance of extremes. Excess of anything spoils the balance and creates disorder. This applies to each and every aspect of life. Excess of work is as bad as lack of work. Excess of eating is as harmful as deficient eating. Both excess and lack of sexual desire affects happiness in life. Extremes of climate are not suitable for efficient functioning.

    Discipline of life

    –          Discipline of life refers to developing control of body and mind. It is not imposed but internal.

    • Lack of discipline is responsible for poor mental & physical health, affects relationships, affects growth in life and leads to chaos in society.
    • Discipline helps in developing self control, improved adaptability, better health & efficiency. It prepares one for bigger things in life.
    • It is developed by perseverance of observing self control, understanding & accepting responsibility and resisting temptations.
    • Kaalcharya in Sanskrit refers to self discipline at physical and mental level according to Kaal (time & situation). This can be Dincharya (discipline of daily routine), Rwitucharya (discipline according to seasonal variation for example changing eating habits according to season) and Ayucharya ( discipline according to different stages of life).

    Time Management

    • On one hand there are people who do a lot and still have time to relax and on the other hand there are people who are not doing large amount of work but still are always short of time. The difference is time management.

    • Good time management leads to maximizing time utilization, better efficiency & results and sufficient time for different tasks. Goals are achieved quickly and more goals can be achieved. The important tasks are not missed and get enough focus. One gets enough time to relax & rejuvenate.
    • Time management involves working on its two aspects – time and tasks.
    • Tasks : Clarify & write down tasks. Divide into short term, mid term and long term tasks. Mark priorities. Delete unnecessary tasks. A well marked ‘To Do’ list is very helpful. Mark ‘Must Do’ tasks, ‘Daily / Periodic’ tasks. Delegating and overlapping task helps in incorporating more tasks in available time.
    • Time : Create a Time Log (time spending details) to see where the time is going. Mark time wastage and avoidable time spending. Pool your work. For example instead of going to market everyday, list items and purchase in one go.
