Meaning Of Conceptual Stress Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikaramolsawarkar
This document discusses conceptual stress, which is a type of stress caused by intellectual chaos arising from physical, emotional, or other causes. In modern life, the rapid pace of change can shatter our conceptual frameworks as new issues emerge, leaving us helpless and miserable - this constitutes conceptual stress. Morality, ethics, and traditions from the past are often proving inadequate or irrelevant. Conceptual stress involves defective perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and physical needs associated with abnormal brain activity. It is minimized in those with a self-centered lifestyle but maximized in those with global perspectives who seek solutions to worldwide problems and suffering. Remembering one's true self through namasmart is suggested as a way to gain clarity and overcome conceptual stress.
