Stress-free life




Yesterday, the MBA executive director came to our class to present a new member of the staff. She took the opportunity to talk about a scientific study someone close to the IE is doing. Study about stress management. Apparently, such study needs some statistics and they are interested in interviewing us, the exhausted and stressed out students of the Executive MBA . They are pretty sure they are going to find high levels of stress among us. To be honest I don’t blame them.
I think one of the most important things you learn during this experience (I mean combining job plus MBA plus family plus Venture Lab Project) is to MANAGE the STRESS. I believe the better you manage it the bigger your professional progression will be, and of course, in parallel, the most your quality of live will improve.
According to Sudarshan Kriya (art of living Foundation), our mind is the house where our emotions live, and it goes from the past to the future and back without resting, producing bad feelings for problems of our past and anxiety about the unknown and about what we should do with our future. This is the stress, stress is the eternal doubt of our mind going fast from the Past to the Future and back.

I recommend their web to anyone interested in a stress-free life (http://www.artofliving.org/). The guy looks like a modern Jesus Christ or new age prophet but I think his thoughts and teachings are interesting.

Thanks and smile,
