Experiences kill you: 40 years of research proved their harm.
British philosopher Alan Watts For many years he studied the influence of stress and anxiety on a person, and now Science confirms its conclusions.
Experiences are the main source of fear, uncertainty and misfortune. Here are 5 ways to break this vicious circle:
š¶Live the present. The mind is either fixated on the past, or worries about the future, but joy is available only here and now;
š¶Do not try to control thoughts. According to the principle of Watts, the more you try to stay afloat, the faster you are drowning. Let the mind function naturally;
š¶Watch your thoughts from the side. Constant introspection depletes the psyche. Be an outside observer, not a hostage of your thoughts;
š¶Thoughts are not a reality. Trust intuition instead of barren thoughts. Constant experiences do not solve problems, but only take energy;
š¶Do not strive to control everything. Full control is an illusion. Gather the information, release the situation and let your subconscious find a solution.
