5. Park your attention in the Real Now: What you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. As long as your attention stays in the “Real Now” you are free of emotional stress. Be aware of the “Virtual Now” which is in your head and on the screen and paper. In fact, “Virtual Now” is full of emotional drama.

Stress Management Quotes Based On Deep Wisdom

Ponder on these stress relief quotes, using common sense:

2. Thoughts trigger emotions. Hence, all emotional stress comes from your own thinking mind.

4. Your thinking mind creates all of your emotional stress. You were not born with this. In fact, you acquire it as you grow up in a society. We can call it your “Acquired Self.”
5. Acquired Self is supposed to be a tool to function in society, but it ends up stealing your identity. Then, it tortures you relentlessly with emotional stress.

Non-Religious Spiritual Quotes On Stress Relief

Dr. Zaidi’s non-religious spiritual quotes for stress relief:

1. Realize you live in two world: One is Real, in front of your eyes and the other is Virtual, in your head as well as on the screen and paper. Emotional stress does not exist in the Real world whereas it is always present in the Virtual world. The choice is yours where you keep your attention.
2. Space, Silence, Stillness is the canvas for the painting of the universe. It is everywhere and yes, even inside you as well. You can be aware of it the moment you take your attention inside your chest, which is utter peace. No words can truly describe it.
3. You are born with a body, soul, and you – the consciousness. There is a brain, but no mind at birth. In fact, mind is a psychological entity that your thinking brain creates as you grow up in a society.
4. Your soul experiences all of the emotional stress that your mind creates.
5. Follow this reminder every morning: “Today, I shall not add any emotional burden to my soul.”

Spiritual Quotes on Life and Death

Dr. Zaidi’s profound non-religious spirituality flows in these quotes on stress relief:

1. Death always follows birth. It is the law of the universe and applies to all forms: humans, animals, buildings, planets, galaxies and even the universe. What does not die is the canvas for the painting of the universe: Space, Silence, Stillness – three words that point to the ultimate ONE, the timeless, the omnipresent.
2. At the time of death, it is only your physical body that comes to an end. You – as consciousness – and your soul continue to live. However, your soul carries all the emotional burden that was dumped on it.
3. The Soul continues to follow the cycle of the birth and death of a physical body. Unfortunately, it keeps accumulating more and more emotional burden through each lifespan.
4. With few exceptions, people waste their life span trapped in the grip of the “Acquired Self” and the “Virtual World.” In this way, they keep adding more emotional burden on their souls unintentionally.
5. Your soul is calling to get your attention so it can live the way it was meant to be:
   • Free of emotional bombardment from the mind
   • Experience the magic and mystery of life, the painting and the canvas of Nature.
