Love Letters are Stress Busters - How to reduce Cholesterol

If you want to reduce stress - in fact cholesterol levels - the cheapest way without any side effects - is to "WRITE LOVE LETTERS" regularly.

Well, not exactly love letters but what generically is called "Affectionate Writing" in the post about a psychological study here

The post say the study was done on two small samples of college students hence it should be taken with a little bit of caution.

Some days back - I wrote the below post on how I find blog writing to be a stress buster...

Blog Writing - A Stress Buster

Well now there is evidence as well - just the blog has to be addressed as an affectionate letter to someone you feel affectionately.

If you know there are some people who regularly read what you dish out, and there is an evidence in terms of say comments etc, then there is an automatic affection developed for your readers.

Then there is an element of communication with All....

I intuitively feel this is a valid result.....

I am planning to get my cholesterol test done now!

Blog Writing - A Stress Buster

My friend Suresh has started writing a new blog as he sent an email below

" Here it is: http://crsuresh.blogspot.com/ surprisingly a lot of Sanskrit names were taken away already> ... so i settled for this :-) i will link
up my http://alochan.blogspot.com entries into this soon.

As usual thanks to navneet for pushing me again to write.. "

(Well, I think, These Sins are Suresh's Alone - and I have no hand in here :))

But this led me to respond thus

"For me writing the blog has become a stress buster -- of course - this
is based on assumption as if there is stress - may be we dont feel - but
I do feel some sort of release after writing - nowadays I am finding as
I write the blog my writing on other forms - papers etc has drastically
reduced as the craving is satisfied by writing a blog a day!

so may be it has to balanced !!!"

The response I got from CM Reddy - our common friend is below

" "For me writing the blog has become a stress buster - I do feel some
sort of release after writing " - Navneet Bhushan,

I guess this can be a passionate statement which you can start using in
your writings/ interviews.. Believe me, people who write on writing can
use this statement for substantiating about the importance of writing in
life. "

Importance of Writing in Life - is it important?

I think I am fortunate enough to have some sort of writing genes - as my Mother is a known author, but the question is - does it make sense for everyone to write something - a diary perhaps - well, I remember reading long back - a diary writing makes one aware of what is happening and actually helps in reflection at the end of the day...

May be Blogging is a new form of diary writing - except it is open to the world as I write!

Relaxed Alertness - A precondition for Learning

For creating a learning enterprise it is imperative to have lower stress on the employees with a focus on creating a relaxed environment - the problem however lies in creating the alertness element of Relaxed Alertness.

RELAXED ALERTNESS in COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES - is this an OXYMORON!
