Calm within Chaos

🔹 Discover the art of stress-busting and reclaim your serenity. From deep breaths to mindful escapes, these techniques empower you to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.

Deep Breathing Exercises:

Practice deep breathing to activate the body’s relaxation response. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat several times.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR):

Systematically tense and then relax each muscle group in your body. Start with your toes and work your way up to your head. This helps release physical tension and promotes overall relaxation.

Mindfulness Meditation:

Engage in mindfulness meditation to bring your attention to the present moment. Focus on your breath, sensations in your body, or the sounds around you. Regular practice can enhance resilience to stress.

Nature Walk or Outdoor Breaks:

Take short breaks outdoors to connect with nature. Whether it’s a brisk walk, sitting in a park, or simply enjoying fresh air, spending time in nature can have a calming effect on the mind.Offering popular women’s necklaces such as pendants

Journaling:

Write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal. Expressing your emotions on paper can help you gain perspective, identify stressors, and find healthy ways to cope.

Exercise and Physical Activity:

Engage in regular physical activity, whether it’s a workout, yoga, or a simple walk. Exercise releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters, and helps reduce stress.

Visualization:

Close your eyes and visualize a peaceful and calming scene, such as a beach or a forest. Imagine the sights, sounds, and smells associated with that place to create a mental escape from stress.

Social Connection:

Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues for social support. Talking to someone you trust about your feelings can provide comfort and perspective.

Limiting Screen Time:

Take breaks from screens, especially social media, to reduce information overload and digital stress. Set boundaries for your screen time to promote relaxation.

Self-Care Practices:

Incorporate self-care activities into your routine, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, listening to music, or practicing a hobby. These activities can provide a sense of calm and rejuvenation.

Embrace the calm within and prioritize your well-being. Because in each moment of self-care, you’re rewriting the narrative of your journey.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACT: COUPLE’S CONFLICT & STONEWALLING

by Nirvana, posted in Blog

In 85 percent of heterosexual marriages, the stonewaller is the husband.

If a man and woman suddenly hear a very loud, brief sound, like a blowout, most likely his heart will beat faster than hers and stay accelerated for longer, according to research by Robert Levenson and his student Loren McCarter. The same goes for their blood pressure. Psychologist Dolf Zillmann at the University of Alabama has found that when male subjects are deliberately treated rudely and then told to relax for twenty minutes, their blood pressure surges & stays elevated until they get to retaliate. Marital confrontation that activates vigilance takes a greater physical toll on the male, it’s no surprise that men are more likely than women to attempt to avoid it.

আত্মশুদ্ধি

by Nirvana, posted in Blog

নিজেকে  সংশোধন করার মতো আদর্শ , শিক্ষা ও প্রয়োজনীয়তা আমরা সর্বপ্রথম ছোটবেলায় আমাদের মা, বাবা, পরিবার ও পরিবেশ থেকে পাই। আমাদের ছোটবেলায় আমরা যেভাবে আত্মশুদ্ধির জন্যে ইচ্ছুক থাকি, বড়ো হতে হতে সেগুলো ধীরে হতে থাকে এবং অনেকের মধ্যে শিক্ষার স্থীরতা চলে আসে। একদিকে মানুষের মস্তিষ্কে আর মানসিকতায়  ধারণক্ষমতা কমতে থাকে, আরেকদিকে জীবন চালানোর কর্তব্য, তাগিদ ও কর্তব্য বাড়তে থাকে। মূলত যারা ছোটবেলা থেকে আত্মশুদ্ধি কে একটা কর্তব্য ও আজীবনের প্রক্রিয়া হিসেবে বেছে নেই বা শিক্ষা পায়  তারাই আসলে ক্রমাগত একটা উন্নতির দিকে উঠতে থাকে।

আত্মশুদ্ধির প্রথম একটা  পদক্ষেপ হলো সচেতনতা  বা  awareness, অর্থাৎ উপলব্ধি করার মতো মানসিকতা ও আবেগ থাকা।  নির্বাচন  ও চিহ্নিত করা, সচেতনতার সাথে যে কোন ধরণের আচরণ, চিন্তা, আবেগ, সম্পর্ক বা ব্যবহার  তার জন্যে এবং অন্যদের জন্যে ইতিবাচক প্রভাব ফেলছে আর কোনগুলো  নেতিবাচক। আত্মকেন্দ্রিক ও অন্যদের প্রতি কর্তব্যের মধ্যে একটা ভারসাম্য খুঁজে নেয়াটা জরুরী এবং আত্মশুদ্ধিতে পরিবর্তন করে সেটা করা সম্ভব। সচেতনতা ও নির্বাচন বা identify  করার পরে আমাদের একটা প্ল্যান এ আসতে হবে। অর্থাৎ কোন জায়গায়, কতটুকু পরিবর্তন করা যায় , বা করা উচিত যেন আত্মশুদ্ধির মাধ্যমে সমস্যাটার একটা ইতিবাচক ফলাফল আসে সেটা   আত্মশুদ্ধির ক্ষেত্রে বলবো প্রথম ধাপ।  অর্থাৎ aware হয়ে  বা সচেতন ভাবে সমস্যামূলক আচরণকে চিহ্নিত করাটা খুবই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। awareness বা  সচেতনতার আরেকটা অংশ  হলো যে কোনো স্বপরিবর্তনের ক্ষেত্রে সময় লাগে, ডেডিকেশন লাগে, ধৈর্য লাগে এবং বাস্তবসম্মত একটা রেজাল্ট আশা করা।  কারণ বাস্তবসম্মত ফলাফল আশা করলে আত্মশুদ্ধির কাজ কে এতো ভয়াবহ বা কষ্টের লাগে না।

এটা নিশ্চিত যে জীবনে আপনি আরো কষ্ট কে বেছে  নিবেন যদি সময় থাকতে আত্মশুদ্ধি গুলো নিয়ে কাজ করা চালিয়ে না যান।  হয়তোবা  এর অভাবে  শুধু আপনি না আপনার চারপাশের প্রিয় মানুষগুলো কষ্টে শামিল হবে যা তাদের প্রাপ্য না।  এভাবেই আসলে অনেক সুন্দর সম্পর্ক গুলো তার সৌন্দর্য হারায়। থেকে যায় কারো সাথে থাকার অভ্যাস আর সম্পর্কটা মেনে নেয়া।  ভুল বুঝতে অনড় বা শুধরানোর চেষ্টা নেই যাদের মধ্যে তাদের সাথে থাকাটা আসলেই কষ্টদায়ক। তাই আপনি যদি কম কষ্ট কে নিজের ও অপরের জন্যে বেছে নিতে চান, তবে আত্মশুদ্ধি কে হা বলুন. আত্মশুদ্ধিকে সময় ও সুযোগ দিলে জীবনে অনেকখানি ভারসাম্য পাবেন, সম্পর্কের মধ্যেও একটা স্বাচ্ছন্দ চলে আসবে।  আত্মশুদ্ধির অভাবে আমাদের জীবন যেন আরো কষ্টের, সীমিত  ও ভারসাম্যহীন না হয় সেদিকে লক্ষ্য রাখতে হবে।  আপনার সুবিধার্থে একটি ছক এর  মাধ্যমে আত্মশুদ্ধির পদক্ষেপগুলো নিচে দেয়া হলো-

The winter bell is ringing, but do you feel sad or not like yourself?

by Nirvana, posted in Blog

Lots of people get depressed in winter, or suffer from “the winter blues”. The medical name for this winter depression is seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

SAD is a type of depression that is triggered by a change in seasons, most notably when autumn arrives. This seasonal depression worsens in the late autumn or early winter before subsiding in the warmer days of spring. A mild form of SAD known as the “winter blues” can also occur. It’s normal to feel down during the colder months. You could be trapped inside, and it could get you. In some cases, these mood swings are more severe and can have an impact on how a person feels, thinks, and goes about their daily activities. Less sunlight and shorter days are thought to be linked to a chemical change in the brain and may be part of the cause of SAD.

Let’s take a look at the signs and symptoms of SAD. SAD patients typically sleep more than usual and crave carbohydrates. They also exhibit many of the typical depression warning signs, such as:

1.Sadness, feeling depressed most of the day, almost every day.

2.Anxiety.

3.Carbohydrate cravings and weight gain.

4.Extreme fatigue and lack of energy.

5.Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness.

6.Trouble concentrating.

7.Feeling irritated or agitated.

8.Limbs (arms and legs) that feel heavy.

9.Loss of interest in usually pleasurable activities, including withdrawing from social activities.

10. Sleeping problems (usually oversleeping).

11. Thoughts of death or suicide.

If you feel depressed, tired, and cranky around the same time every year, and these feelings appear to be seasonal in nature, you may have SAD. Discuss your feelings with your Counselor openly. Follow their advice on your lifestyle.

Anger Management

by Nirvana, posted in Blog

Anger is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. However, when anger starts to cause problems in your life, it might be time to do something about it. People who experience chronic anger often find it difficult to manage and control their emotions.

We spend 80,000-120,000 hours of our life at work. Something can happen at work that causes us to be upset, frustrated, or angry. When you are not able to manage your anger or direct it appropriately, it affects your personal and professional relationships, and what you do at work and at home. We experience many stressful events each day, but when the stressors become overwhelming it can cause us to react without thinking.

Here is a step-by-step guide to controlling anger, written by a practicing psychologist and founder of Nirvana, Ms. Sumaiya Azmi.

7 TIPS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND BODY WEIGHT

  • Measure and Watch Your Weight:

Keeping track of your body weight on a daily or weekly basis will help you see what you’re losing and/or what you’re gaining.

  • Limit Unhealthy Foods and Eat Healthy Meals:

Do not forget to eat breakfast and choose a nutritious meal with more protein and fiber and less fat, sugar, and calories.

  • Take Multivitamin Supplements:

To make sure you have sufficient levels of nutrients, taking a daily multivitamin supplement is a good idea, especially when you do not have a variety of vegetables and fruits at home. Many micronutrients are vital to your immune system, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and magnesium. However, there’s currently NO available evidence that adding any supplements or “miracle mineral supplements” to your diet will help protect you from the virus or increase recovery. In some cases, high doses of vitamins can be bad for your health.

  • Drink Water and Stay Hydrated, and Limit Sugared Beverages:

Drink water regularly to stay healthy, but there is NO evidence that drinking water frequently (e.g. every 15 minutes) can help prevent any viral infection.

  • Exercise Regularly and Be Physically Active:

At this time, at-home workouts may be a good idea. But you can also walk your dog or run outside. Be sure you know what’s going on in your area and if there are any restrictions or mandatory self-quarantines.

STEPS TO BE MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY HEALTHY

by Nirvana, posted in Blog

Wellness is an active process that takes its own time to be developed as a habit. But, with the hectic pace of everyday living, improving physical and mental health seems to be a goal that needs a big-time commitment. When it comes to some severe health issues, we visit the doctors and take medications. But, have you ever realised that this temporary medication will not help you in the long run. The easy and simple tips given below can help you stay fit and healthy.

1. Drink a lot of water: Several studies have found that drinking a lot of water keeps your body temperature normal. This keeps you fresh and energetic whole day. Water also fights disease-causing bacteria and helps in maintaining physical fitness.

2. Take proper sleep: The researchers say, having 7-8 hour sleep is very important for all age groups. It is important to give proper relaxation to the body and brain. So, don’t take your sleep lightly.

3. Exercise and Meditation: We all skip this step in our daily life, and this is the reason why we are falling in the trap of diseases. 15-minute meditation and 15-minute exercise can change your experience.

4. Keep yourself motivated: Whatever you do, wherever you go, you must be aware of your caliber. You need to pump up yourself to stay away from any kind of negativity.

5. Take proper diet: The work pressure and easy availability of packed-food have made us dependent on this unhealthy diet. But, it is very necessary to keep a balanced and nutritional diet to maintain mental and physical health.

6. Take regular breaks: A number of times in a day, we feel physically or mentally tired, at such moments, one should take a break. Take 10 mins nap or take a walk. This will help in regulating your hormones and it will relax your body. So, this one step can keep you both mentally and physically healthy.
