Stress is considered a common thing for those working in the corporate world, but a shocking case of how deep this stress leaves a mark on a person's body and mind is being discussed on social media these days. A person has claimed that as soon as he left his job, within just 10 to 12 days his many years old physical and mental problems automatically disappeared.
In this video going viral on Instagram, a person named Dayal has shared his story. Dayal describes himself as a creative director, filmmaker and designer. He says that he was suffering from problems like constant headache and pressure in the head for a long time. This pain had become so normal that they had accepted it as a part of their life. It never occurred to him that the root cause of this could be stress related to his job. Dayal says that when he decided to leave his corporate job, he did not expect any miracle. But within a few days of leaving the job, he realized that his headache had completely disappeared. No medicine, no treatment. Only then did he understand that his body and mind had been living under constant pressure for a long time and he himself kept ignoring it.
In this video, Dayal shared one more thing, which surprised people even more. He told that earlier he used to smoke about 20 cigarettes daily. This habit had become a part of his life. Tried to quit several times, but work stress and mental fatigue kept taking him back to the same habit. But after leaving the job, without any planning, resolution or forcing himself, he suddenly stopped smoking. According to him, when the mind became calm and the inner tension ended, the craving for cigarettes automatically ended.
Dayal says that after leaving the job, he felt many positive changes in himself. Now he is more alert than before. His thinking has become more clear and balanced. They are getting more mental space than ever before to understand and feel things. It has now become easier for them to watch films, understand emotions and accept different opinions. Earlier his mental condition was not such that he could pay attention to all this.
He also told that earlier his mind was always busy with some worry or the other. Fear of deadlines, pressure to answer to the boss, compulsion to lie or make excuses about work and the worry of proving oneself all the time. Amidst all this, he never realized that this constant stress was slowly ruining his health.
After leaving the job, his mornings also changed. Now he wakes up without fear and nervousness. No worries about meetings, no pressure from emails, and no feeling of being heavy before the day even starts. Dayal says that he did not get this peace from any meditation app, yoga class or breathing technique, but directly from getting out of the environment which was breaking him from within.
At the end of the video, Dayal said one thing, which forced millions of people to think. He said that if there is peace in life, it seems that everything is there. But if the mind is not calm, then even a big salary and a luxurious position seem worthless. This thing touched the hearts of many people, because many people feel themselves trapped in the same race, where there is money and position, but no peace.
Dayal's story raises the question whether we are working at the cost of our health and mental peace. Are we just ignoring the signals of our body and considering it as normal? This story does not advise anyone to leave the job, but it definitely forces one to think about how important balance is in life. Because after all, if a person is not well from within, no amount of outside success can keep him happy.
