Life can be full of trials, dramas and challenges that can be stressful.
But once these are accepted as a practical inevitability from time to time, we can start to focus more on what matters and makes us content.
At the end of the day, we do not need to worry - it is a choice we each have as to whether we elect to worry or not.
Trying to imagine dramas as simply "fluff" can assist this appreciation greatly.
Oxford Dictionaries defines fluff as:
"soft fibres from fabrics such as wool or cotton which accumulate in small light clumps."he brushed his sleeve to remove the fluff""
If an actor or actress, for example, "fluffs" their lines, it rarely if ever ruins the entire performance, and often conversely results in an audience chuckle.
Fluff can be a nuisance and bothersome, but it's rarely dangerous or life threatening; so just imagine or even imitate the act of brushing it away for all it is with a brisk back of hand movement down your arm!
If we can learn to treat frustrating or stressful events in life as just so, then we will start not to be so affected by them.
Neither do we need to "bounce back" from set backs as much, because we are learning to accept and manage them at the front end versus on a reactive basis.
If there is a particular individual or individuals who seem to be a recurring theme in the dramas we encounter, then considerations contained in our posts entitled "The Relationship between Toxicity & Stressbusting™" and "Break Time Quickie - Adopt the French approach of "Laissez Faire" to StressBust™" may be of relevance.
There is no doubt having to react to recurring drama in our lives is wearing and stressful.
