How can I take life less seriously?!


Question: How can I take life less seriously!?
Answers:
I woulden't try that!.
It's the only life you have , you don't get another one!.!.
You can still party and have fun!. Just be catious!. Thats how I am!.!.=D!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do something fun!. Go to the arcade or amusement park!. Do something irrational like bungee jumping!.

Another thing that may help you is to spend time around little kids!. They love life and are so carefree and innocent!. Doing activities with them, like jump rope, running, going to a park, will help you!. You can get the same effect if you spend your time around animals, especially dogs, which are active!.

But remember, simply doing these activities will not make you take life less seriously!. You have to want to be more carefree, which is seems like you want to do since you asked this question!. I hope you can be able to let loose and enjoy what this world has to offer! Some seriousness is needed in life, but you also need some fun as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

By asking yourself that very question, and also asking questions about the answers that follow!

For instance: I get really ticked off at work!. Why do I do this!? Because the people I work with are all clowns and airheads!. Do I care how they act!? Does what they do or don't do really affect me!? Is any of this my problem!? No!? Great, so I'll get some earbuds and an ipod and listen to Stephen Colbert jokes all day while I smile and nod at the airheads!. Done deal!.

On more serious topics, are you striving too hard!? Why!? Are you holding yourself to stressful, impossible standards!? How come!? Why do you think you take life so seriously in the first place!? And is your measure of seriousness necessary in all the areas you bring that attitude!?

Let loose!. Have some fun!. Win and lose some!. Laugh and cry some!. Buy something new and chuck something out!. Get some high tops and let your hair grow!. Whatever!. Be silly from time to time, and above all else, let go! Give up some control and let life happen just the way it will!.

Here's an old Zen story I particularily like!. I hope it makes you smile today:

Two monks were travelling along a road when they came upon a beautiful young girl who was unable to get across a stream!. The older monk offered to help!. He picked her up and carried her across!. Several miles down the road, the younger monk could no longer contain himself!. "Master, we aren't supposed to associate with women, yet you actually touched that beautiful girl!. You picked her up!" The master answered, "I put that woman down on the other side of the stream!. Are you still carrying her!?"

Moral!? Sometimes you have strong mental attachments to the things you're no longer physically burdened with!.!.!. What are you still carrying!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

watch lots of comedies - read mind over mood and apply it - screen negative people out - jog - get into nature - find the things you like and do them - work at jobs you like and stay busy - when the mind is busy then there is less time for it to get disturbedWww@Answer-Health@Com

Are we talking your job, or how you will move out of your parents house or things like people who do not agree with you, the weather, world economics IE things you nor I can change with a wisp of are hand!?
I heard one time "don't sweat the small stuff", and "choose your battles wisely"!.

I am going through some of the same stuff right now, and it is hard, but time takes care of everything!. Sometimes though time seams to take forever!!
We just have to learn that we can not be in control of everything!.
Wish you well!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have to go to work or some such place 5 days a week, make sure to schedule something fun to do for your days off!. Be young, be foolish and be happy!.!.!.you only live once, so don't waste it thinking of nothing but responsibilities!. Have time set aside for pleasure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
