Do not take personally the negative factors that you might encounter with on a daily basis. It is easier to say than to do, of course. However, there are plenty of negative things you experience yet cannot do anything to change them.
Fortunately, you can always change your own attitude toward all those aspects in order to improve the situation. The more stressed you are, the shorter you live! Learn to ignore or at least pit up with the stuff that drives you crazy from time to time. Control your emotions and the quality of your life will instantly improve.
1. Negative online comments
Trying to convince people that they are wrong is like fighting with windmills. It’s a totally hopeless mission. Do not even try to waste your energy and time trying to change someone’s opinion. You are no guru and you cannot make others think or behave the way you usually do. Accept people and let them be themselves just like they let you be yourself. Even if you are 100% right, let them learn from their own mistakes.
2. Stuck in a traffic jam
Traffic jams will always exist and will only keep becoming worse and worse unless people change the entire infrastructure, rebuild cities and roads, start using public transport instead of private vehicles or learn to fly! Sound surreal, doesn’t it? Then wouldn’t it be wiser of you to simply learn to deal with this phenomenon? Quit worrying, switch on your favorite tune or radio station, read a book or a magazine, meditate – anything might work. Always make the best of the worst situation!
