Are you treating life well ?
What a question to ask you would say. No I am serious. Life has its quirks and fancies and sometimes it brings us to a stage where we feel why me. We feel bogged down by stress in our life and modern life, believe me, has plenty of it.
It is here that my question becomes relevant. Life will give you pleasures and pains but are you handling it well? Or are you giving in to escapism? Worse, are you in denial? Are you always smiling, chirpy and enthusiastic on the surface but seething with rage inside? Do you take a drink or two with friends in the evening and think you are okay? Are you getting distanced from your loved ones because of stress? Are YOU treating life well ?
Most of us have a fight or flight response to conflict. We react instead of responding. The driver who just overtook you from wrong side, does he elicit an angry reaction from you? The boss who doesn’t value your suggestions, is he able to spoil your mood for the day ? Your significant other doesn’t understand you, do you get frustrated ? These are real day to day situations in our life. How you treat them is of essence.
Do you whine all the time about your problems or do you take them in your stride ? We all have our moments of anger, jealousy and hate. To tackle them with patience is treating life well.
All of us have different ways of dealing with our stress. For me it’s yoga and listening to classical music and writing. What is yours? How do you treat life? Do write to me.
Be happy and safe.
So be it !!!
