5 Ideas For Stressful Living

Some excellent advice for how to keep your days and life full of stress:

1. Attempt to control absolutely everything - Instead of focusing all your attention on what you are doing in the moment, divert most of it towards trying to figure out how to ensure a particular result.

2. Believe in the possibility of ‘making it’ - This is a search for identity, and experientially it can be described as feeling like you’re never really at home anywhere you go.

3. Look for satisfaction out there - Most people look almost exclusively to external things and circumstances for their satisfaction, instead of looking within. It’s the reason why people spend most of their time working for the purpose of accumulating more things, and then their free time on trying hard to extract as much satisfaction as possible from these things in order to justify the means of attaining them.

4. Emphasize yourself - Telling yourself that you are special, and trying to convince everyone else of it as well, is almost guaranteed to create stress.

5. Be more and have more - At the core, all of the above ideas can be summed up in a single method: simply convince yourself that you need more than you have at any given moment, and you will be able to maintain a steady feeling of anxiety throughout the day.
