WORRY AS A HABITWorry is a classic case of
‘fight and flight’ stimuli with the notable absence of actual activity. One can neither dispel worry by fighting it nor can escape from it by running away. Absolute stress impedes our ability to lead a healthy life and compress ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually. The rationale and creative sight is mostly blocked or shriveled to a miniscule, through which only depression and hypertension adsorbs inside the human system. Worry produces stress in body, increases our blood pressure and produces several physical and chemical changes in our exterior and interior body system. Itching of skin, hair loss, acnes and pimples, etc. are visible impacts of excessive worry and tension. Internally, it can damage our immune system causing stomach aches, constipation, acid, gas, hysteria, insomnia, headache, heart attack, stroke, etc. We have to consciously break the worry habit, before it breaks us completely.
Worry becomes a
habit that is associated not only with the well-being of oneself, of near and dear ones, but also encompasses the distant notions like welfare of one’s favourite team, society, country, world or even the universe. Worrying about
tomorrow and repenting about the lost time (that is, the
yesterday) will surely make us worry about our future later on. Because we all know but tend to forget the simple truth that today was the tomorrow we had worried about yesterday. Thus worrying creates a vicious circle from which we can never hope to come out unless we try it from today, nay, this moment only.
Six basic emotions - surprise, happiness, fear, anger, disgust and sadness - have been associated with human nervous system under stress. Since man is a gregarious animal, he is being judged every waking moment. Each individual, by dint of his body
language, constantly gives out non-verbal signals to the people surrounding him.
