How To Make Your Problems Seem Really Small
Look at your place in the universe and get some perspective.
“My problems are way bigger than yours. You have absolutely no idea what I’m going through.”
That’s something many of us love to say. The reason? We often have a bad habit of making our problems way bigger in our minds than they actually are. Think about it. We often worry and complain about our relationships, money, and work — amongst many other things.
We like to think we’re the center of the universe and that the entire world revolves around us. But in the grand scheme of things, we’re just one person on a planet of several billion people. And although that might be a hard pill for you to swallow, it’s true.
I remember when I used to worry about anything and everything. If you opened a dictionary and looked up the word “anxiety”, you’d see my face. I spent a lot of time worrying about things that weren’t important. As a result, it was often difficult to concentrate on the things that were.
Over the years, my mindset has completely changed for the better. I now have perspective and don’t worry about my problems for longer than necessary. My life is so much better now.
