Don't take things TOO seriously

It took me a while to learn, that we don't have to take things TOO seriously. Of course we have to be serious at work, in relationships etc. But very often, we crossed the border, and fell off the cliff into the valley of anxiety.

Customer feedbacks, planning errors, what people think of you, people not taking your ideas into account, people not doing the way you like it to, not doing a good job, don't know what to do, don't know how to write, some emotion problems etc.

The most productive mental state is more relaxed than I thought. It is the fine line, where engines roll, giving it has got, minus the excess stress, anxiety and worry.

A lady in her 70s told me, "What I have learnt from all these years, is we don't have to be so attached to things in life. Just do your best, and whatever happens, let them be. Don't have to be so attached."

I easily throw myself into the valley, getting so stressed up that nothing is produced. Time to relax a little and fine tune towards the peak mental state*.

*Peak mental state =

engines rolling in full speed

- uncomfortable (stress + anxiety + depression + fear + worry)

Ahh.. Just have fun.
