How to minimize tension/frustration with others
This really struck a chord with me and certain feelings of frustration when those you care about go about their lives in a way that you possibly do not think is healthy for them emotionally. I know this speaks of organisation, and the original title included this, but i do feel it can be applied on a much wider level.
How to minimize tension/frustration with others who are less organized than you are!
It’s a matter of only worrying about what you can control, and accepting that which you can’t. You can’t control others or their organization level, so don’t even try to.
This is actually a deeper issue of control for many organized people — they want to control everything in the world around them (and for a long time I was one of them), but it’s impossible, and it only leads to stress and frustration and conflicts. Instead, learn to embrace a degree of chaos, accept that the world is out of your control, and love it. The world is a wonderfully unpredictable, wild, and beautiful place.
To learn to let go, every time you find yourself frustrated, stop, and breathe. Let the frustration flow out of you, and let peace come in. Remind yourself that you don’t have to control, and love others for their humanness. It takes time, but you can learn.
