How can I get rid of fear and stress?

Q : Pranam Gurumaa. I do not know what this is, but I am always scared of something. There is some fear in my mind. I do not know what it is about. I never get my self free from thoughts. I am always disturbed in my mind. Although my friends and my workmates describe me as a very funny and bright person, but when I am by myself I am different, not happy. I never share my problems with any one. Every second day, I get a new problem but I always face them. Still why am I so stressed? Please guide me.

Answer

You are stressed because you are not being honest. You are stressed because you want to do so much and not everything is possible from your side; and there are so many expectations which you have from yourself and others have it from you. And you are just being bamboozled with all these desires and expectations. So you have a nice façade around you. You have this persona; you have this mask of a happy person but inside, you are not happy at all.

You need to set your priority, what you really like, what you really want to do, what you really wish to achieve and maybe you need to listen to more of satsang, do that. Please do that and you need to do yoga nidra everyday and do get one of my CD called pranav. Do it! Follow it! And practice it! You will be in a good place.
