A little life hack, #nostr

We often take so many things SO serious in our lives. I know I have many times, especially recently.

“If I don’t get/have _______ job things will really suck!”

“I need more money for ________ or life will really suck!”

“I wish I could do ________, not being able to really sucks!”

Take a deep breath, and realize how often you have little control over so many things. The weather, other people, whether you get that job or not, safety in your modes of transportation (god forbid, life can go in the blink of an eye) and so much more.

Things will happen as they happen. You are granted each day, each moment, until you’re not. One life, and then death. Your peers may take all of these things so seriously, but when you really realize how little we control, and that there is one life to live, your stress about work, finances, other people’s decisions, become laughably tiny. The anxiety will begin to melt away. This isn’t a suggestion to shirk away responsibilities or be reckless, rather to not spend every waking moment riddled with stress and anxiety over all of these things we are conditioned to feel are SO important, when they simply are not.

Relax, breathe, you’re going to be ok 😌
