Insults "What is it about insults that pierces us so deeply? When we are insulting someone, it is done to diminish that person's sense of self-worth.... According to scriptures and teachings, when we are insulted we are given an opportunity to grow, to elevate ourselves. If you do not perceive an insult as an insult but as a gift, how can it hurt you? Then it is not an insult at all."

Depression "Psychologically speaking, depression is often thought of as anger that has been turned against the self. As you project your state of mind upon the outside world, you see and expects the worst, often fearing disappointment and loss no matter what you undertake.... The very best antidote to depression is acceptance of yourself. The first step is to write down what you are angry about in your life."

Enemies "Many people's lives center around their enemies. By focusing so much upon their enemies, these individuals become afraid to take risks.... Allow yourself a moment of willingness to put down your sword and consider the possibility that your enemy is not different from you. Say to yourself, "like me, my enemy wants to be happy and safe. Like me, my enemy is lonely. Like me, my enemy will one day suffer loss and death."

Cultivate friendships: Multiple trials show that strong social networks help reinforce good health habits and reduce heart-damaging stress.

What Stress Has to Do with Overweight:
When you are under pressure, your body produces cortisol-a hormone that tells your body to put out more neuropeptides and galanin. As a result, you crave carbohydrates and fats. The research has supported that stressed people end up being obese.

While you can't eliminate stress entirely, you can learn to control it. Find the best stress-buster for you-exercise, practice deep breathing or meditation, perform muscle relax-and-release exercises, take a warm bath, read a book, or listen to music. “Art of Stress-free Living” by Dr. S.S. Dhillon is a good start to handle stress. http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?catalogid=14048
