Failure, it’s not always good

Learn from your failures they say. Stand up to life and punch it in the face, get up every time you fall and try a little harder the next time, these and many more such quotes. I’ve had my inbox full with such messages since the past 3 years. What my well wishers don’t get is that not every failure is repairable!

Lord of the ring:
I used to be a professional boxer. Usually by the 3rd round of the fight, I would have my opponent knocked out. Focus, endurance, strength and stamina were my best friends. I was unbeatable. My goal was to win the world championship title which at that moment was pretty far from where I stood. But I was getting close to it with every fight I fought and won.

Distractions:
It isn’t easy to be a boxer. All of it isn’t easy. It’s takes a lot of efforts and sacrifices. I was young, dynamic and had a great fan following. All my friends at that age were married and I was busy training for my goals. I was advised not to have a family as it would be a major distraction. I was a little upset about that. Everyone needs that someone special in their life. But I kept myself motivating with bigger picture which was the world championship title. There were times when thoughts like not having a family would pull me down especially when I was stressed. Stress use to amplify my every negative emotion. Yoga and meditation would help to certain extent but somehow the stress was getting stronger. Closer I came to my goal, stronger became the stress levels.

Stress:
I wasn’t really aware of any breakthrough remedies for curbing my stress levels. Stress started keeping me distracted all the time. It started weakening me at a very important phase of my life. It started affecting my performance in a major way and there was very little I could do about it.

Sucker Punch:
One fine fight changed my life. Like for any other fight, I was well prepared for this one too. And like for any other fight, I was stressed for this one too. Only difference was that I let stress take over me. I was almost on the verge of getting knocked out in the first round itself. Somehow I survived and that was the turning point of my life. I was completely distracted and more than my vision, my focus was blurred. Before I could get a hold of what was happening, I got hit by a power jab! I was knocked out obviously. But this wasn’t the worst part. The punch had pushed me real hard towards the turnbuckle. At that moment, I had passed out with the punch itself and had no clue as to how severe it was. As I regained my consciousness in the hospital, I got to know that the fall had twisted my neck permanently! I simply couldn’t move my neck. It was completely paralyzed. The doctors said this is going to stay this way till I die followed by the other bad news that I can’t fight anymore. I wanted to pull the plug there itself. My life had no meaning left. I couldn’t fight anymore, I had no family of my own and my goal was flushed down the drain. I fell in a pit of depression.

Swartantra:

My doctor informed me about Swartantra. He said that it can help you heal psychologically. They are known for promoting healthy stress free lifestyle. Moskha is a device by Swartantra which produces positive vibrations which are customized for every individual. I started using Moksha and I can say it definitely works. My depression reduced to quite an extent. If only somebody had informed me about this before, I would have had my health now. It could have been worst though. I was suicidal for a long time. I’m still glad that I was introduced to it before it was too late.
Keep calm and believe in yourself!

Until now, the “keep calm” internet posts were nothing but just memes to me. I use to come across them, laugh about it and move on. I am a 25-year-old girl and this story is about my hypertension.

College:
I’m a MBA student. I go through a lot during working college days. I run around a lot for my projects and have to deal with a lot of idiots on a daily basis. I am short tempered, like extremely short tempered. I once yelled at my mom because she woke me at 6:55 am instead of 7 am! All my classmates keep on telling me to calm down and take it easy but I simply can’t do it.

Stress:
I am already suffering from hypertension and stress tends to amplify this condition of mine.
On days when I am too stressed, I start getting anxiety attacks. I get hit by depression too. Suicidal thoughts have crossed my mind a couple of times. I don’t know how longer I can fight them.

Solution:
After noticing my demonic behavior, my friends and family suggested me to opt for some stress reliving activities like yoga or some light exercises. They also advised me to take some prescribed medicines to mellow out. I did give certain things a try but I guess they weren’t meant for me. I needed something effective and powerful to reduce my stress levels and get rid of anxiety and depression.

Moksha:

I came across this unique technology called Moksha on the internet. Not many were aware of this technology, so there was no way for me to validate its authenticity without trying out myself. And that’s exactly what I did. The device was carefully curated taking my birth year and location into consideration for better results. It’s an audio device that you have to meditate with. Spending only a little time with Moksha everyday gave me fabulous results. I started staying more calm and happy. My anxiety and depression started fading away. I now manage my days in a much better manner.  If only I knew about Moksha before I demonstrated my demonic side to my friends and family, I could have avoided all the embarrassment. 
I had it all!

You know how they say that you need to control your emotions, I learned it’s importance the hard way! I am a professional singer and this is the story of my journey from fame to ashes!

Career:
You might have heard stories of people rising to fame from ashes but mine is the other way around! I am a professional singer, a famous one too. My father too was a professional singer. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I never really had to do much to bag gigs in the industry. That being said, I genuinely do have a good voice too. My father’s network was an add on.

Fame:
I was a hit with my first single itself. I started getting shows back to back. I use to be booked for months in advance. It was a wonderful phase. I was doing what I love and not just that, I was good at it too. I was paid handsomely for my work. It all felt like a dream.

Stress:
Stress was a major part of my daily schedule. Be it with producers, event organizers or even with family sometimes, I had to deal with a lot of stress. My dad used to advice me on concerts that I should or shouldn’t do. I never really listened to him. I did what I felt was right and this used to upset him. But when my decisions proved to be right, it used to help me blow some steam off. All that stress would temporarily just vanish. So I never bothered doing anything about it. I thought time was taking caring of it. I was wrong!

Downfall:
Soon the stress started getting the best of me. I started fighting with the producers. I cancelled sold out shows. I started yelling at my father too. I started becoming a horrible person. Nobody wanted to produce my songs anymore. Nobody wanted to organize my concerts. I had it all, fame, money, family and I lost it all to stress.

Swartantra:

Doesn’t matter how hard you despise your family, your family will always love you back. My father got me introduced to Swartantra. He said just like his voice, Swartantra will help you sooth your soul. I thought he was being jovial. I got my personalized device from Swartantra called Moksha. It’s a device you can meditate with to manage your stress and feel more peaceful. It actually does what it says. I haven’t stopped using it since my first use. I haven’t completely recovered my career as yet, but I am proud that I became a better person again.

Stress - the worst drug. Ever.

I always thought that addiction is a silly thing. I have come across people who claim to have no sorts of addiction and that they can leave smoking and drinking anytime they want to. I myself was a chain smoker but I wasn’t addicted to smoking.  One day I just gave up smoking. I never had to stop my self from smoking or control my urge, nothing! It just happened and I never felt like smoking after that day. So I always thought there is no such thing as addiction and that if you’re strong willed, you can overcome pretty much any habit.
 
Stress Symptoms:
I am a well educated guy. I have had my share of alcohol and drugs in my yesteryears. But there was nothing that I couldn’t control.  I’ve had nominal levels of stress in my day to day life like any other individual. I use to manage it well. I had maintained a good balance in my life. Stress is something I never really took seriously. I would do nothing about it and just let it accumulate. Over a period of years, I started noticing minor changes in my behavior. I started feeling low. I started getting mood swings. I was affected by borderline depression too. All of this wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was, that I was somehow liking it!

Addiction:
It was a sick thought but I couldn’t help it. I was enjoying whatever that feeling was. Stress became like a drug to me. More I’m stressed, more pathetic I get and more I enjoy that state! It was no joke. My friends and family got worried sick. I use to feed my addiction almost on a daily basis.

Chronic Stress:
I did a bit of research to find out more about my condition. I got to know that I’m suffering from chronic stress and I was addicted to its symptoms. If you don’t manage your stress well which I thought I did, it can develop into chronic stress which is far more dangerous. Chronic stress can promote depression. Even after reading up on all of this, I never made any efforts to cure my condition. It started to affect my family in a big way. No body likes to see their child walk down the road of self destruction.

Moksha:
My grandmother decided to put her foot down and owned up the responsibility of curing me. She got this weird Ipod like device for me and said that this is going to help me out. All I had to do is listen to it everyday. I chuckled because I thought my grandmother had completely lost it. So just for her satisfaction, I started using Moksha. The first time I used it, I felt a bit weird but in a nice way. I didn’t really pay much attention to how I felt and just started using Moksha on a daily basis. Little did I know, I was subconsciously getting cured! My behavior started changing. I started becoming more positive. I still get stressed but I no more like staying stressed like I use to.  Every time my dark side feels like coming out. I just let Moksha take care it.


No more a family man


A charted accountant by profession and a part time punching bag by chance - this is a story of a man who has loved and lost pretty much everything. This is my story!

Family:
Being the only child of my parents, I was more pampered than the usual kids. Or at least that’s how I felt. My parents love me a little too much. They are possessive and overprotective about me which is a bit weird for a guy’s parents! I had to make calls to my parents every time I changed my location. I would make a call if I was on my way to college, another call once I reach college, lunch call, left from college call, heading for classes call, hanging out with my friends call, call to explain why I couldn’t attend their call and many more calls! It was all too very overwhelming in the start but as I grew older, it started getting a bit irritating. Not to mention all my friends made fun of me. Girls in my group collectively never would have made as many calls as I did to parents.

Marriage:
My marriage was arranged by my mother’s sister. She found a very lovely girl. We had approved each other in the first meet itself. She knew very little about me and my family but that didn’t stop us from getting married. The first few months were magical. Like they say, it was the honeymoon period.

Punching bag:
My wife wasn’t really happy with the overprotective nature of my parents. She somehow thought it was her job! So now I had to make to calls to my wife too! It was like a competition between my wife and my parents as to who can be more protective about me! I couldn’t really stand up to either of them. It started stressing me out. I started feeling like a punching bag. My parents started complaining to me about my wife and vice versa. I felt like a time bomb who can explode anytime.

And I did explode:
Not knowing how to handle my stress any better, my frustrated self just exploded one fine day. This event took place at a special family dinner where my close relatives were present too. I turned that special dinner in to a living hell for everybody present there. I said horrible things that I can’t take back. I was abusive at the dining table. No body knew that this side of me existed, not even me! I lost the love I use to get from my family and my wife. Both despise me now. We are now just individuals living together mechanically like robots.

Swartanra:

Somehow I’m more blessed than I think. After witnessing my condition, my father’s sister who was present at that special dinner told me about Swartantra. I did my own little research on it and found out that Swartantra promotes healthy stress free lifestyle which I was desperately in need of.  Without a second thought, I decided to give it a try. And Swartantra did wonders for me. Moksha is device by Swartantra which curbs your stress levels with positive vibrations. With every session with Swartantra, I started feeling better and better about myself. My family and my wife saw the changes in me. I became calmer which helped me make my professional and personal decisions very wisely. I wouldn’t say I’m absolutely back to the normal state and that I got no more problems in my family, but I can surely say that day isn’t far away.

Stress almost got me bankrupt!


My story might sound like a nightmare from a tragedy movie but unfortunately it is as real as it gets. I think the month was March in 2011 when I along with my friend had just ventured in the apparel industry. Dresses and tops were our forte and we did some good business for a while. I was quite in the happy zone as I never really knew what “loss” meant cause our profit charts were at a all time high. It was my first successful venture without any prior experience and the very thought of this used to give me a high. I used to celebrate and how - alcohol, women, drugs were my 3 am friends. Success got to me but this story isn’t about my success.

Hello downfall!
Like I mentioned earlier, I never really had seen any loss in the business or in my personal life. I was completely unaware about the 123s of handling loss and how to emotionally react to a particular situation such as this. My business faced a major setback in 2014. I was psychologically paralyzed. I went under a lot of stress and that stress influenced a lot my decisions which further destroyed my business even more. I couldn’t feed my habits anymore. I was running out of money and had no clue how to deal with this particular state of mind.

Quick Fix!
While I was going through this horrendous storm of life, a friend of mine introduced me to gambling. He said and I quote him “Wave your financial troubles goodbye bro!” Little did I know, gambling would become the very root cause of all my financial troubles.
As a rookie at gambling, I started small and to my surprise I was doing good like I did in my venture! I started re-connecting with that feeling of achievement! I started betting big, like real big. I lost some and I won some. Point being, I was able to recover the losses because all I had to do is bet again! It was the same procedure only with different outcome! This went on for a while and honestly I was starting to get comfortable.  Then one day my destiny again tested my strength. I was on the gambling table about to gamble my life away. I was losing money which wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that I wasn’t recovering any money. With every loss, I was betting a bigger amount for the next round. I kept loosing and loosing even more. I was running out of money. It felt like my venture all over again. With no clue at hand, I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life. I was about to bet myself and if I had lost, I wouldn’t be any better than a slave!


A good advice!
Right at that moment, the very friend who had introduced me to gambling intervened and pulled me back. I’m not going to narrate the tale of my recovery but I will tell you one simple thing that there is always a better way to handle your stress! I was introduced to Swartantra by my elder sister who could not see me in such miserable condition anymore. It has a device called Moksha which is a unique technology that helps controlling stress with positive vibrations. I can’t control things which are out of my league like the loss I faced but now I sure can control stress which basically wins half the battle. Some choose smoking, some choose alcohol and some choose the better way, the Swartantra way. The choice is yours to make!



Fight depression the better way! 

Depression is not ‘just sadness’ and stress is not ‘just stress’. Both can have adverse effects on your personal and professional life. It certainly did affect mine! I always thought that depression is a mild condition and like any other tough situation in my life, I can overcome depression too! And I did, but let me tell you, it wasn't easy until someone told me about Moksha – a miraculous product by Swartantra.

Stress:
Stress in my life never really had one single source. Sometimes my boss made me work overtime for long durations. At times my family asked me for vacations that I couldn’t afford. And sometimes lying on the behalf of my friends to their family got me stressed! This was something inevitable! I mean couldn't just simply leave my job, family or friends! I love them all. Everyone gets stressed and escaping is not really a solution!


Depression:
I never really got to know exactly when I was hit by depression but it all started with stress. Because of my inability to handle my stress, I started getting depressed. I started behaving like a kid! This started affecting my personal and professional life. My colleagues and my family started keeping their distance from me which made me depressed all the more!

Smoking:
I always hated smoking and despised smokers. Every time I asked a smoker why they smoke, they said “to reduce stress”. I never really understood the logic though that how would smoke help in reducing stress? But apparently somehow it did and hence a lot of them use to do it. So not knowing of a better solution, even I resorted to smoking! And it didn’t really help. In fact, it started affecting my health.

Moksha:
Knowing my situation, my mother got worried. She started searching for solutions and that is when she came across Moksha. Moksha is a unique device which can help reduce your stress levels. I was skeptical at first but I had nothing to lose. So I decided to give Moksha a chance and to my surprise, I started seeing results right from the 1st use itself.  The device was personalized in accordance with my birth year and location. It produces positive vibrations suitable to me who helps me manage and reduce my stress levels.

Road to a better path:

I obviously never looked back after the first use. I not only overcame my stress but also got rid of depression. I meditate daily with Moksha. I am thankful to my mother for introducing me to Moksha and I would personally recommend giving it a shot. Say goodbye to depression the better way, the Moksha way!
