How To Control Mental Stress Caused By Worrying (And Be Happy)

July 31, 2021

Todays world makes us feel like this is the worst time to be alive.

From personal problems, to global pandemic, racism, crime and war.

There seems to be an endless number of problems we're facing in today's society.

And it's OK for you to worry about these things. That's just human nature.

But that's causing you too much mental stress & you seem to find no way to deal with this situation. Here's how worrying effects your body.

That's why in this post we're going to help you deal with these things effectively.

You'll learn to control your mental stress so you can be happy even if there are infinite problems.

Let's get started.

The scale reality

See. There are billions of people in this world interacting with each other.

And with those billions and billions of interactions, millions and millions of problems arise. Right?

Now you're a one person with one brain.

You can afford to think about only a few number of things because you've just one brain.

Now what happens when you think about all the problems in the world?

You get sad and depressed. Because there are so many problems to solve, you'll become overwhelmed.

Because, the reality is you as a one person cannot solve all the problems.

Heck you cannot even think about all those problems.

When you realize this and accept your inadequacy, you'll be free.

It's not your fault that there are millions of problems in the world.

It's just that the scale of these things are just too big for a single person to handle.

And there is absolutely no fault from your side.

Just accept this reality.

Something will be better

Now you have accepted that you cannot solve it all, not even think it all.

But do you want to be happy?

If yes, let me give you some perspective.

Imagine a world where millions of problems are occurring every day.

And a person who is super sad by thinking about all these problems.

World is sad, person is sad. Nothing is better.

But imagine the person who just accepts their reality and stops worrying about what they cannot solve.

What will happen?

Millions of problems are happening every day.

But the person is not worrying about them anymore and is happy.

World is sad, person is happy. Something is better. Right?

Atleast the person is happy despite all the problems of the world.

And I want that person to be you.

So stop worrying about things you cannot solve, accept the reality, be happy.

It's that simple. Keep it that simple.

Going a level deeper

Now there might be some problems you can solve, but in your future time.

At your present time you might not be able to anything about the problem, but you still worry about it because of a future possibility.

And that's a wrong approach.

What's the point of thinking and being miserable about a problem that you cannot solve in the present moment?

That problem which has a solution in the future should not cause misery in the present.

So think about that problem when you're capable enough to solve it.

For example, you might become a politician to solve the problems your state is facing.

But when you're still young and going to school, you should focus on studies rather than worrying about those problems.

Sure. You can occasionally think about how you can improve things.

But being miserable about things you cannot solve currently is what a stupid person would do.

Don't be that person. Be happy.

Conclusion

I've also battled the same situation many times. And hurt my brain seriously in the process.
