Learn not to be upset about trifles, and life will become much easier.
Instruction manual
one
Distinguish important things from trifles. Losing a wallet is unpleasant, but nothing more. It can not be compared with the fire that destroyed the property of the whole family. Do not be upset about the words spoken by strangers - it is simply impossible for everyone to like, and the person who offended you will probably very quickly forget the words spoken, so is it worth tormenting yourself for such an absurd reason?
2
Learn to see the future not bright and terrible, but bright. The fear of something that has not even happened and may never happen is irrational. For example, if a person has convinced himself that his child will be in trouble and upset about this in advance, then he has committed a doubly stupid act. Thinking about the bad, you attract it, and being upset, you also spend your nerves because of your own imagination.
3
Accept an unpleasant situation if you can not do anything about it. Think about how important it will be for you in five or ten years. The little things that upset you will soon be forgotten, but the damage done by them will remain forever. Think about it and try to understand that unpleasant, but not too important things do not deserve your attention at all.
4
Understand that your experiences do not solve the problem. Suppose you lost your jewelry or were rejected as a result of an interview. Tormenting yourself, you can’t fix the situation, but you can accelerate the occurrence of a stomach ulcer or other unpleasant disease. For the same reason, do not scroll through what happened in your head and reproach yourself for doing this and not otherwise. What has been done is done, and your task is to come to terms with it.
5
Learn to turn off your emotions and view the situation in terms of logic. Engage in finding a solution to the problem, and not worries about its occurrence, otherwise you may miss your chance to improve the situation. Suppose a student pulled out a ticket on an exam that he does not know. Instead of being upset about this and wasting time on anguish, it’s better to try to calm down, remember everything that is known on a given topic, and try to build an answer.
