Frequent stress caused by trifles often leads to unpleasant consequences. Sleep disappears, heart problems and nervous disorders begin, a person loses peace, becomes irritable and destroys his own happiness, quarreling with loved ones and not fulfilling his official duties. Learn not to get upset about the little things, and life will become much easier.
Instructions
Step 1
Distinguish the important from the trivial. The loss of a wallet is unpleasant, but nothing more. It cannot be compared to a fire that destroyed the property of the entire family. Do not be discouraged by the words spoken by strangers - it is simply impossible to please everyone, and the person who offended you will probably very quickly forget about the words spoken, so is it worth tormenting yourself for such an absurd reason?
Step 2
Learn to see the future not dark and scary, but bright. The fear of something that has not even happened yet and may never happen is irrational. For example, if a person convinced himself that his child would be in trouble, and was upset about this in advance, it means that he has done a doubly stupid act. Thinking about the bad, you attract him, and when upset, you also waste your nerves because of your own imagination.
Step 3
Accept an unpleasant situation if there is nothing you can do about it. Think how important it will be to you in five or ten years. The little things that upset you will soon be forgotten, but the damage they cause will remain forever. Think about it and try to understand that unpleasant, but not too important things do not deserve your attention at all.
Step 4
Realize that your feelings don't solve the problem. Let's say you lost your jewelry or were rejected by an interview. Tormenting yourself will not remedy the situation in any way, but you can speed up the onset of a stomach ulcer or other unpleasant disease. For the same reason, you should not replay what happened in your head and reproach yourself for doing this and not otherwise. What's done is done, and your job is to come to terms with it.
Step 5
Learn to turn off your emotions and view the situation logically. Be concerned with finding a solution to the problem, not worrying about its occurrence, otherwise you may miss your chance to improve the situation. Suppose a student draws out a ticket on the exam that he does not know. Instead of getting upset about this and wasting time on mental anguish, it is better to try to calm down, remember everything that is known on a given topic, and try to build an answer.
