Reach Your Goals: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff!
Knocking Down Roadblocks to Reach your Goals!
It’s easy to get distracted from your goals when your stressed out. Not to mention being stressed is just not fun! The Solution …Look at the BIG picture. Stress can be related to sooo many negative events. Not to mention stress will make it hard for you to reach your goals and see daily opportunities . To get the most out of your day, your year, your life…it’s an advantage to be clear minded, positive, healthy, and truly focused on your goals and passions.
In most cases getting upset and stressing about whatever it is your stressed about will just add to the problem, add to the stress, and multiply the problem. One example is those who smoke when stressed and then get stressed about some of the effects of smoking!
It’s important to looks that the bigger picture, not to sweat the small stuff!
Sometimes to find a balance it helps to look at extremes. And this next example will definitely be an EXTREME! Next time your stressed about that traffic jam, late payment, or obligation your don’t want to be at, just remember… “we are all just a collection of cells, large mammals, roaming this earth…for an insignificant spec of time over the vast history of this planet in a collection of an unlimited number of other planets in an undefined number of galaxies”…yes I agree, that’s going pretty far…but think about this for a while today and tell me it doesn’t make your problem seem small…a problem not worth getting sick about.
Looking from this perspective can make life seem much simpler…much less complex, and something you should treasure and be thankful for. I’m not trying to say not to not care about anything, but to put your time into the things that really matter, that make you happy, and will help you reach your full potential and be happy.
And of course this is not always easy… and of course it’s not always going to happen, but just try to look at daily road blocks as positive events and opportunity. That traffic jam your in… that’s opportunity…to blare your music, brainstorm or just take a load off.
Just remember to zoom out your perspective sometimes… don’t sweat the small stuff…cause it’s usually all small stuff!!!
