Find out what advice she has for the working population.

'Work Stress' is the wrong word

Sister Shivani says that we also end up making a lot of negative affirmations in our mind and the term 'work stress' is one. Associating the word work with stress, affirms work as the cause of your stress. Even if the matter is so, affirming it makes it a process and thus, this needs a fundamental change of energy.

Begin the day with gratitude

Your work and the people you work with form a core part of your life and thus affect your and in turn your family's emotions. To ensure a positive vibe here, you should begin your day with gratitude, first to the divine, to your workspace and your colleagues.

Disconnect from work

Nowadays, we are at work 24/7. From waking up to answering a call to sleeping after answering an email, the mind revolves around work, which is why it is always uneasy and fatigued. Sister Shivani advises you to spend two hours with yourself before sleeping to ensure deep sleep and better productivity.

The right ethics

Following the right ethics at work and in life is the key to being successful. Being true to yourself and others with your karma will make it easy to function for you.

Resilience is in your control

With work pressure comes your resilience, your inner strength. Your resilience to handle pressure will make it easy to tackle. Think that you are able to do anything and the stress will evaporate. Balance the body with yoga and meditation to increase resilience.
