Stop thinking and live life shit going to happen no matter what

What when shit does happen?

You just let it happen every storm has a rainbow you ain’t making it better by stressing about it :)

I’m finding it difficult to come to terms with this, but that’s part of my problem

Hahah yeah don’t sweat it

Thanks

Talk to a therapist and get evaluated. Some of these symptoms may benefit from medication.

Stress is directly related to the amount of resistance you have in your life. The resistance comes from an inability to have unconditional life acceptance. Particularly of the things outside of our control. Primarily outcome of effort, events, other people, and circumstances. Those are all outside of our control. When we lack acceptance for exactly how they unfold, we create resistance.

Resistance is like friction between two moving parts. The more friction there is, the hotter the parts become. If not cared for, that heat will cause damage. Our resistance is that friction. It is that stress and stress is a silent killer.

It is never our 'job' to control other people, circumstances, events, or outcomes. It is our 'job' to control how we respond and behave to the unfolding of life. Through unconditional life acceptance, we reduce stress and show up better.

Meditation and mindfulness are great ways to be aware of how we create that resistance in life. It is through that awareness that we can let go of the control that no longer serves us. We can cultivate greater life acceptance. In that space, we have ease in life.

Is mindfulness the best way to come to a point of acceptance and less resistance?

Ah... what you need friend is an introduction into the stoics and the philosophy of stoicism. Zeno, Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius.

I enjoy this YouTube channel very much. I think you can find what you are looking for here.

Get ready for some self-healing.

I actually own meditations. I’ll be reading it next (reading Ayn Rand at the moment so it’ll be a while before I move onto something else lol)

I suppose it depends on a person's perspective. At the end of the day, I consider meditation/mindfulness the process to increase awareness. You must be aware of it in order to create the shift/change. Do you listen to podcasts or read books?

I listen and read

There's lots of gold out there in those mediums to help with this. Some of my personal recommendations.

Podcasts: Project UnchainED, Having it A.L.L

Books: A New Earth, The Four Agreements

I’ll definitely check these out. Thank you
