Rushing, being late, chasing all day long...that's what the life of a modern man looks like nowadays. And against stress, the most common disease of modern times, everyone fights in their own way. Popular Zen blogger Leo Babauta advises all those whose most days of the week look like this to, first of all, change the way they think. Here's how:
Commit to one job Do not commit to several things at the same time, but do one at a time and commit to each one. There is no end to the list of obligations, it just keeps getting added. So put off the next one, and devote yourself to the one you're currently working on as much as possible, merge with it - let it become your entire universe.
Stop idealizing Fear of failure, fear of not being loved, of not being good enough, of being left behind... Fear, fear, fear... And fear creates stress. In our head, we have an image of the successful and most perfect self, and when we realize that it is impossible, then we are hurt. Instead of inflicting pain on ourselves, let's embrace the uncertainty and, for a change, believe that everything will be fine.
Accept your surroundings with a smile When others don't behave the way we think they should, we get upset. Instead of looking at it as something disturbing, let's try to accept our surroundings as they are, because that's the only way we'll recognize a part of ourselves in them, in the search for happiness, in the struggle for happiness. Because others behave just like us - the way they think they should, they do the best they can. Therefore, accept others from the heart and enjoy the time spent with them, reports Beauty and Health.
