I learned this simple technique of stress management from Kariko.

She is not a yogi or knows rebirth but she and her technique is very effective in handling stress.

I learnt how to turn negative stress to positive stress from her. Every time stress hits me, I ask this mantra to myself "What can I do!?". I do it repeatedly till I find a solution.

If stress attacks me, I attack it head on by asking "what can I do to tame this fear". Then, a solution comes up and I act.

If I don't attack the stress, stress will trounce me and go into backward negative feedback loop of blaming everything except me. Instead of forward solution seeking mode to drive out the stress, I go into depressive and blaming zone for weeks. This simple switch or flip turns everything upside down.

I learnt it from Kariko. She is not a yogi but definitely she has nerves of steel and we can learn from her.

In Gita, Lord Krishna says to Arjuna that even inaction is a from of action i.e. if one is desisting from action which itself becomes an action. So, Krishna urges Arjuna to act instead of inaction.

I use the same energy to act on the fear than to inact and run away from it.
