Example: Imagine you have a big test. Instead of stressing about getting an A+, focus on studying well. By doing your best and not stressing about the outcomenot stressing about the outcome, you’ll feel less anxious and more confident.

Teaching: Dedicate your actions and efforts to something higher, actions and efforts to something higher, like God or a noble cause.
Example: If you love painting, do it as a way to express gratitude to the universe. This mindset can make you feel more fulfilled and less pressured by external expectations.
4. Gaining Knowledge (Jnana Yoga)
Teaching: Seek knowledge and understand the bigger picture of life.
Example: Learning about different subjects and understanding that failures are just steps to success can help you see beyond immediate problems. For instance, if you didn’t get selected for a sports team, understand it’s just one event in a long journey.
5. Meditation and Mind Control (Dhyana Yoga)
Teaching: Practice meditation to calm your mind and gain control over your thoughts.
Example: Spend a few minutes each day sitting quietly and focusing on your breath. This can help reduce stress and clear your mind, making it easier to handle challenges like exams or peer pressure.
6. Detachment from Results (Vairagya)
Teaching: Don’t get too attached to success or failure.
Example: When participating in a competition, enjoy the process and effort you put in, rather than worrying about winning. This approach helps you stay happy and motivated regardless of the outcome.

The Gita teaches that understanding your true self, focusing on doing your best without worrying about results, dedicating your actions to a higher purpose, seeking knowledge, practicing meditation, and not getting too attached to outcomes can help you feel less depressed and more content.
