Humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar exclaims to the packed audience: “Today many are anxious about how to deal with their anxiety! So, here are some of the ways you can manage your anxiety:

  • Sing, dance and celebrate. The very intention to celebrate will pull you away from anxiety to a more harmonious state.
  • Think about what you can do for others rather than just about yourself. Energize yourself with some service activity.
  • Combined practice of yoga, breathing and meditation.
  • Know the impermanence of the world.
  • Having faith and surrendering to the Divine and knowing that there is a supreme power who loves you. The supreme power is behind you and accepts you totally. The sense of security comes with the sense of belonging.
  • Valour/courage: Invoking the lion within you and having an attitude of sacrifice will rescue you from anxiety.
  • Reminding yourself that you are committed to a greater goal will keep the anxiety away.
  • Being unpredictable for a while. Anxiety is always related to some anticipated action. Do something completely irrelevant and unpredictable. Readiness to face the worst will leave you with stability in the mind.
  • Remembering a similar situation in the past when you were able to overcome your anxiety.

Someone in the audience says: “If none of these work just come and be in the presence of the Master (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar).” Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a spiritual leader, Peace Ambassador & Founder of Art of Living.
