Very common ingredients which can be found in a Fresh MBAs’ (Serious). He worked day and night to achieve his targets in order to fulfill his dreams faster as compared to his colleagues. In the mean time, Because of such high pressure, he was not able to give proper time to food, Physical health, Family and Mental health. As a result, he was able to perform way beyond his actual targets but from inside he was becoming weak. His bosses were happy on his performance, All were shocked to see his achievement in a little time, some were happy, some were shocked, and some were jealous also. After 8 months of his joining, Ashok fainted in his office premise. He was admitted in nearby Hospital. After some examination and test, Doctor said that he had a HEART ATTACK.

So, How a youth at 23 can have his first Heart attack. This is possible now days. With mental and physical stress going up and zero level of physical Exercises.
Message to YOUNGISTAAN for improving the mental health:-

1. RELAX- Let go your tensions every chance you get. Forget yourself for awhile by becoming engrossed in a good book, listening to your favorite music, visit your local park and sit quietly among the trees, work on your hobby, mediating or gardening. Build some relaxation time into each day.

2. LEARN TO SAY “NO”- Read a book or attend a class on assertiveness.

3. DO IT NOW- Procrastination can lead to negative feelings about yourself. Waiting until you “feel like it” can sometime take forever.

4. BE KIND TO YOURSELF- People are frequently hard on themselves when things don’t go “right”. Instead of saying to yourself, “I m’ stupid, I’ll never get this right. “try saying, “I am alert and catch on quickly.” This helped me a lot, It’ll definitely help you too.

5. FIND A FRIEND- Expressing feelings and ideas to a friend can help us clarify what is truly important to ourselves.

6. ADAPT TO CHANGE- change is necessary part of life so be patient and allow yourself time to adapt.

7. EAT PROPERLY- My favorite. Nutrition has a lot to do with mentally positive. Limit your intake of sugar, fat, salt, caffeine and alcohol.

8. EXERCISE- Even a 15 minute walk three times a week does wonders for how you think and feel.

9. EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS- Going to a movie where others are likely to be laughing or crying can be safe way to express your emotions. Try recording your thoughts in a journal, or even write a letter to the editor of your newspaper.

10. REVIEW YOUR “should”- If you feel struck by something you “should” be doing and aren't, set a time limit by which you either have them done or get rid of them.

In the race of growing fast, topping the charts, performing better than the competitors, we are forgetting the real meaning of happiness and making our body suffers.

Above are all methods through which, one can bring a right change in his/her life and can lead a balanced successful life.
