THE IDEA OF STAYING CHILL

“If you ask what is the simple most important thing to stay chill any situation in life, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and overthinking. And if you didn’t ask me, I will still say so.”

The philosophy I believe in life is no matter what the situation is or how adverse your condition is, it is you who decides, how you want to go about with it. People have evolved but the basic feeling of danger that lingered in the minds of our ancestor didn’t quite evolve. We still hold that feeling of jeopardy or fear when we go on about with our day-to-day activities. Our ancestors used to live in a time where “survival of the fittest” was quite literal. You either killed or got killed. So the emotion of fear that they experienced was quite understandable. Now coming back to us we quite can’t exactly relate to the context of fear they experienced. Not saying that we don’t experience fear of that intensity but the things we assign it to is quite trivial as compared to theirs. Remember how as kids we used to get scared shitless when our teacher caught us without our homework. That feeling of powerful emotion is same as the one our ancestors felt when faced with a one on one situation with a wild animal. See, we as humans have evolved quite a lot but our feelings are quite primitive. Unless we can control our feelings we can never be truly happy. Any actions that we do is controlled by us and we are rightfully responsible for it. Similarly our feelings are also something that is psychogenic. It originates in our mind and we should have full control on how to feel or to how much extent we should feel about it. So the point is that if you really are troubled over that bad break up or over that scary important presentation you have to give…don’t be. Because at the end of the day we shouldn’t take ourselves that seriously. The road of life has many detours .Moreover we know that we all are nothing but star-dust.
