Tension is a problem experienced any man in his everyday life. If a person is born in this world, then he is sure to experience this problem throughout his life in one way or the other.

What is Tension?

Tension is state of mind where you are mixed with over-anxiety, stress and fear. Tension can cause heavy damage to the human mind as well as the body. In short, tension means stretching your mind to such an extent where the mind fails to face problems boldly and the end result would be disastrous. People taking time to relax and release the inner tension find it easier to achieve a better mind and body. In short, they are emotionally and physically healthy.

So if you want to succeed in life, then say goodbye to Tension.
