“Stop Craving For Anything.”
Cravings makes you desperate but to enjoy life you need to be calm.
Coming through this thought is not easy, because not everyone is capable of making oneself calm by his/her own. But yes keep trying is the another way to do so. You may have so many things going around you or in your life but you have to focus on yourself first only then one can make out things possible in a positive way. Now you are thinking how feasible is this to do, like keeping yourself calm, not to crave for anything, be positive. So let me tell you my MANTRAS of life to achieve goals:
Breathe
The next time you’re faced with a stressful situation that makes you want to hurry, stop what you’re doing for one minute and perform the following steps:
- Take five deep breathe in and out (your belly should come forward with each inhale).
- Imagine all that stress leaving your body with each exhale.
- Smile. Fake it if you have to. It’s pretty hard to stay grumpy with a goofy grin on your face.
Feel free to repeat the above steps every few hours at work or home if you need.
Let go
Cliche as it sounds, it’s very effective.
The thing that seems like the end of the world right now?
It’s not. Promise.
Stressing and worrying about the situation you’re in won’t do any good because you’re already in it, so just let it go.
Enjoy the journey
Focusing on the end result can quickly become exhausting. Chasing a bold, audacious goal that’s going to require a lot of time and patience? Split it into several mini-goals so you’ll have several causes for celebration.
Stop focusing on the negative thoughts. Giving yourself consistent positive feedback will help you grow patience, stay encouraged, and find more joy in the process of achieving your goals.
GO WITH THE FLOW.

So from now whosoever asked you about your life no matter what you are going through in mind just smile and say PRETTY GOOD, I AM GOING WITH THE FLOW.
Look at the big picture
The next time you find your stress level skyrocketing, take a deep breath, and ask yourself:
Will this matter to me…
- Next week?
- Next month?
- Next year?
- In 10 years?
Stop agonizing over things you can’t control because you’re only hurting yourself.
Stop demanding perfection of yourself
You’re not perfect and that’s okay. Show me a person who claims to be perfect and I’ll show you a dirty liar.
Demanding perfection in yourself or anybody else will give stressing out of you.
Practice patience every day
Below are a few easy ways you can practice patience every day, increasing your ability to remain calm and cool in times of stress:
- The next time you go to the grocery store, get in the longest line.
- Instead of going through the drive-thru at your bank, go inside.
- Take a long walk through a secluded park or trail.
