ARE THESE TECHNIQUES EFFECTIVE IN STRESS MANAGEMENT?
Music, dances, sports, art and everything for that matter can be and are sold as stress management techniques! Perfumes, shopping, spas, colors, designs and a variety of appliances are promoted widely as stress management techniques. The question is whether these techniques are relieving our stress or no. To share a personal secret with you, my experience is (and it may not apply to every one) every sensible technique has some benefit but total stress management is not possible with any of these! They do not reach to roots of stress! At least so far as I am conscious and alert and not intoxicated and dehumanized, neglecting the causes of universal stress and its disastrous impact on mankind; is not possible. It is for you to verify if I am making sense!
