    Feeling stressed? Stop worrying about things that are not all that important

    Synopsis

    You might think these things are important, but they’re not.

    Know the secret to lowering stress? Stop worrying about things that are not all that important:

    Exes

    Anything to do with an ex. They’re not in your life anymore so leave them in the past where they belong and shut up about them.

    Popularity

    Being cool or popular was important when you were in high school. You’ll have the popular kids working for you one day if you play your cards right.

    Sex

    People make a big deal out of sex. We all want to find new exciting ways to do it, but seriously people, it’s just sex. We all have it and it’s a lot of fun. Stop being dramatic about it.

    Family

    They are just a group of people who can be as stupid and bad as everyone else. The entire “family means more” thing is just a fairy tale.

    Wealth

    Becoming successful means owning a car, a house, accumulating wealth. Just remember that tomorrow, you will wake up and be 60 years old.

    Happiness

    Maintaining happiness. It’s an impossible goal, like “staying happydrunk” or “staying high”. Your body isn’t built for that. Stay positive, find meaning and value in your life.

    Staying strong

    Being “stoic”. It’s okay to feel. It’s okay to cry.
