Pressure

This word I am sure is onmi present in everyone's lives. Now let me clarify, I am not talking about blood pressure. I am talking about the pressure we undergo while we go about both our personal and professional life. And yes, it directly affects our B.P too !!

Just imagine a life without pressure.....no targets...no achievement...no coming first...no studies...no work..no incentives...no money...nothing. Well, life would become boring and dull.

What I am trying to say is that in this world where we have limited opportunities, there is the law of " Survival of the fittest". This is not related to the physical fitness but the mental strength. Pressure is good upto a limit because it helps us work in the direction we want to go. However, it we let pressure in beyond a point we start to feel it going to our head. Wish, if we could have a whistle like the one on top of a pressure cooker which blows beyond a certain pressure. But alas, no such priviledges are yet assigned to us human beings. Then, it that case we need to be our own whistle.
Most of the times, the pressure is created by the urgency of the matter, which at most times is created by us only. ie. Submitting reports on the last day..etc. Yes, at times there would be situations beyond your control. We need to keep a cool head while taking any action under pressure.
A simple way to release pressure is to plan our things in such a way that we complete our important work before it becomes urgent. Also, focus on doing one task at hand rather than worrying about everything at the same time and doing nothing. I have been a great fan of M.S.Dhoni who's been aptly titled "Captain Cool". Nothing gives a person so much advantage over others as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

  1. yes indeed in all our lives we know what pressure is and how are we living within that. I think very well articulated Bhupesh. Also i agree that planning will ensure the pressure under control but what about things where we cannot plan as it comes from Top in last minute to be executed. Still agree with your thoughts

  3. Agreed with your thoughts completely... you touched upon both the aspect of pressure…. positive and negative at same time…. I can say that it really depends upon one's ability to cope-up with pressure which really involves planning and interest in your every day work which gets best out of you. I myself had experienced the negative effects of pressure some-times due to my laid down attitude towards my work which is really frustrating in my profession. Plan and Execute and keep pressure away and enjoy life...

  4. In the middle of the struggle it is hard to accept that the pressure we are feeling is shaping us into something bigger and stronger. However, this is how life works. We have to remind ourselves to bend, but not to break in these difficult times. Fighting the pressure is often what pushes us to the brink.
