Feeling Stressed

[gsingh9]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Im in my final year of university, and have my exams coming up. I feel like i'm under so much pressure, i sleep like 3am then wake up around 10am, but it takes me a while to do my Japji sahib and listen to the rest of Nitnem, so I spend round about 2 hours in the morning doing path. I have breakfast at like 1pm then.

I finding no peace doing path all i can think about is study. Japji Sahib i just keep stopping in between and takes me about 45 minutes to complete, the same with Rehras Sahib. I currently don't any simran, i find it hard to make the time. When I listen to the rest of my Nitnem, i just feel like im sitting here so I can say I done it. When doing Rehras Sahib ji, i start feeling sleepy and again i feel like nothing went in.

I don't know why, I can never do path properly. One reason could be my health I'm severely underweight know as food keeps getting stuck in oesophagus and i'm waiting to get tests done.

I've been told many times just to do simran, but they guilt of not doing Nitnem gets to me. I don't what bania to do shall i just do a Japji Sahib and simran in the morning for an hour and a bit or shall i continue. Also is it ok if i listen to Rehras sahib, and recite along.

Please forgive me if i said anything wrong. Thanks in advance

Guru pyario, everything happens in Waheguru's will.

There are many stresses in the human form of life. Our natural instinct is to worry about these day-to-day things.

Just remember this life we are living is fake. Only Waheguru is real.

If Waheguru wants you to ace your exams, it will happen. Do not stress.

Going for a walk is a good way of de-stressing. If you can incorporate a few errands, then all the better. Breathing in the outside air, observing the world in motion, etc, it reminds us how small we are, and it allows us to keep our own lives in perspective, relative to everything around us. Breathe it all in. You'll feel better for it.

I find doing some physical training REALLY useful as a de-stressor too.

Its definitely ok just to listen to rehiraas sahib and recite along. If it takes u too long to do japji sahib, listen to it too. The whole morning nitnem audio by jarnail singh takes an hour. Its on youtube too.

The above advise it good, and if you want to do paath, do it while you're walking around doing what u have to do in the morning. Sing it or do it in a way that you are able to continue with your life.

Life cannot stop because u have to sit and do paath, that's not what life is about, it's about Truthful Living- not just sitting and meditating all day. Do that, work during the day, excercise in the early eve, 6-7 and meditate(and study if u have to) in the evenings.

During studies, when u lay down to sleep, do a personal ardas, relax your body, and let go.

I try doing that, but the guilt really gets to me if i don't sit down and listen to a bani I did not do, I end up being even more stressed. But i went to the Gurdwara today, and the person briefly talked about the importance of Nitnem, and now i'm unsure what to do.

But then I should be doing my path with love so it starts being sweet to me, but currently i'm finding it really hard.
