Our personal hell?
Man in the modern world lives in hell. This unfortunate person is permanently held hostage by stress. Thanks to the latter, the world seems terrible.
A step to the left is cancer, a step to the right is an ulcer, a jump in place is a heart attack.
If a couple of years ago, the modern world promoted textbooks and courses on EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT and MULTI-TASK, today it shrugs hypocritically and offers a new panacea for all ills: relax.
Relax. Take it easy. You're angry? Take it easy. Are you sad? Take it easy. You are too happy - calm down too.
The man is calm. His jaws are tightly compressed, perspiration is covering his crimson face. He is furiously calm.
-What, are you unlucky? - The modern world is laughing maliciously behind your back.
-Come on, take a vacation. Mountains, sea, beach. Well, how did it get easier?
Great, now come back. Get on your burning bike, which you drive straight to hell in five directions at the same time, trying not to burn with it.
I don’t know where this harmful conspiracy of the Buddhists came from (BUT I have nothing against Buddhism), it seems that no one saw them as protesters.
Nevertheless, clockwork people obediently buy yoga passes, retreat tickets, arrange Internet detoxes and pay big money so that some people forbid them to talk for ten days. Then, with a sense of accomplishment, they return back to the office, because something tells them that after two weeks of "idleness" they EXCELLENTLY RELAXED AND READY FOR NEW CHALLENGES.
It seems to me that there are a lot of recipes around that tell how to achieve success, and very few tips on how not to die on the way to it.
But there is one reliable recipe, and it is very simple: you need not to deal with stress. You need to deal with what causes stress - with your inability to adapt.
All these practices of many days of silence, yoga, meditation, boxing, knitting are intended for you to escape stress for an hour, three, forty eight, and then plunge into it again.
You need to learn, you need to get used to the idea that no stress will kill you. First you stop worrying about nonsense, and then once, faced with big problems, you will find that you are not falling into hysteria, but simply solving the problem.

Relax. Take it easy. You're angry? Take it easy. Are you sad? Take it easy. You are too happy - calm down too. This was important like you mentioned, I mean it does makes perfect sense. Life is emotional juggling, but into every situation we must remain calm.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
That would be ideal if we stayed calm. However, it is difficult. I think if this were possible, then in our world there were no mental disorders, emotional burnout and nervous breakdowns. Perhaps there would be no wars, who knows))
I think its due to the fact that we have so much stimulation with technology and connecting with a large number of people the way we do now that our brains simply cannot compute and we don't understand its unnatural for the human mind to work the way its required to in the modern world.
The modern day stress is triggering survival instricts we don't use and has affects on our bodies we don't think about or rather understand. Its almost simulating the feeling of being in danger and never giving our bodies time to rest and recouperate nor our minds.
It really is like one crazy rat race and we don't see the fact that we can get off and hop on at any time. We're fixated on certain goals or material prizes
That's for sure, @chekohler))
I think it looks like agony. We are so lost to ourselves in these concerns, plans and achievements until the next increase in work that we no longer become soberly aware of the mechanisms of this world and our own needs. In this race, we feel that our strength is running out, but we don’t want to stop, so we are ready to run in different directions and believe in any “medicine” that will restore our strength (and moral strength) as quickly as possible and that we don’t have to do that long stops.
My mindset is very unstable right now. Sometimes it' s fine, others go to hell. One thing that almost always defeats me is to strive to fix things without seeing results. Then I start to think it doesn't make sense. I get depressed.
Hmmm ... I read you, @dinaudic and I understand that it is very similar to me. work a lot and not see the result - it is very exhausting. at such moments I try to switch my attention to something else. because if I get hung up on this and don’t see the result, I generally want to destroy everything. lol
Interesting argument. I sometimes feel that internal stress gets generated from acceptance of external stimuli- it's like we give permission to and allow ourselves to buy into whatever. It's time we slow down and look internally for what is true and follow that guidance. Take a breath, get centered, allow self connection and allow the truth to emerge.

I completely agree with you. I think it resembles agony. In order to somehow overcome within ourselves the excitement and darkness, we are forced to rush in different directions and believe in any promises of healing and peace. Sometimes it works, which often only gets worse. Because we forget what we really want.
Way to go, @extractum-lunae!!
I haven't been around a lot lately, but just now I thought I'd take a look at Trending, and there's where I found this post. Great going, girly!!!
Oh, thank you very much, @simplymike! I think that without you and your support, I would not have succeeded!
我们外在的情绪都是有内在的本我所激发的
I agree with you! Thanks for your feedback!
