All the trite platitudes seem to be the only real route to living a stress free life and involving oneself in society. For example: “don’t sweat the small stuff, and remember it’s all small stuff”. For me, I just remind myself everyday that eventually the sun is going to melt the earth, which is pretty wild, and nothing I do is really important. And I’m okay with that. I still work hard and have fun, but I really just practice not being attached to things. I was a very stressed out kid/young adult, and I can’t remember a single time that being stressed helped anything. So I remind myself of that. And I ski and have dogs.
