The famous tale of Alauddin and his magic lamp gives us a small lesson on stress management. Alauddin got a magic lamp with a genie within. The genie granted him 3 wishes. Just 3 wishes.

Imagine the stress of having to write down all your wishes. Then give importance to top 3 wishes. Then ask the genie in proper format.
You see the problem here is that man has unlimited wishes. But man himself has limits. His life is limited, his salary is limited, his abilities and talents are limited etc. What happens when someone has limited resources and unlimited wishes? He has no satisfaction.
No satisfaction = Lot of stress.
So to decrease your stress levels, start by decreasing your wishes.
