What makes us stressful is our concern for the external world. It makes us perform action based on position, achievements and age. This creates expectations, competition and control, leading to stress. The following checklist helps us remain stress-free.

Check your consciousness throughout the day. Do you play every scene with the ego of your role or position of being a spouse, parent, senior, junior…? By identifying with your roles, you tend to behave like the image you have created of the role inside your mind.

Remember to radiate the qualities of the soul even if situations go wrong. In every interaction, connect to the inner being of self and others before connecting to their roles. This builds a foundation of true respect for the being and regard for their respective roles.

You are an actor – a soul, performing every scene on the stage of this world drama, through your body and role. Make sure you, the actor’s original personality of peace, purity, joy and love, is your way of being. Then watch how your every role becomes a pleasure – effortless and stress-free.
