How Not to Take Everything to Heart: 4 Psychological Tricks
04.04.2024 05:10
A person is often forced to get into unpleasant situations, to face rudeness and inattention.
You have to stay as calm as possible.
But what to do if any trifle can bring you to tears and hurt your soul? You should stop taking everything to heart and not get upset over nonsense.
Trust people
In fact, people around you are not trying to offend you unless you provoke them. You will not be able to tell exactly how other people feel about the situation, what they think about you personally.
Therefore, do not assume that every unkind look or offensive word is directed at you.
Accept yourself as a unique individual
Try to take criticism more calmly. Criticism is not always justified. Sometimes a person is simply jealous of you. Or, feeling vulnerable and weak, people try to deprive you of your peace of mind.
If the criticism is justified, take it as a small lesson that does not in any way degrade your dignity.
Don't limit your thinking to strict boundaries
It is also wrong to try to force others to your idea of reality. Otherwise, you will be disappointed. Get rid of labels and stereotypes.
As long as there are certain limitations in your mind, you will not be able to see things in their true light.
Sometimes fatigue becomes the cause of resentment and emotional trauma. Analyze your feelings, but do not rush to conclusions. Brew yourself a cup of aromatic tea, try to relax and distract yourself.
Let the “painful” issue turn into a normal work issue that needs to be resolved, but it does not deserve close attention.
Learn to be an optimist
Try to find something positive in every minute you live. As long as you remain in a gloomy mood, the situation will not improve, you will not feel better, and you will not change your future.
And if you always expect something bad to happen, you risk turning your life into a real nightmare.
When a person constantly plays all sorts of grievances and fears in his head, they seem to intensify. Therefore, it is better not to focus on them, but simply to live on.
