Do You Feel Like You Are In A Pressure Cooker? (Life Should Be Taken Slowly But Surely)
Do you feel like you are in a pressure cooker? (Life should be taken slowly but surely)
It's always good to remain calm and confident, but some people get so overwhelmed with work and everyday tasks they can't see anything else. Sometimes, just the thought of focusing on one task and moving forward is too much for them. So what do these individuals do when they feel like they're stuck in a pressure cooker? They turn up the heat. Constantly bombarding themselves with daily tasks leads to an environment that's too difficult for anyone to handle, not to mention it can lead towards anxiety or depression.
What do you do when you feel like you're in a pressure cooker?
There's only one way to dig yourself out from being overwhelmed with work and life in general. It's called, taking a step back. You may start off living one day at a time. But if you keep doing that, you'll soon find yourself living one week at a time, and then eventually one month at a time, and then before you know it years will come and go by your feet. Suddenly the decisions that seemed so important to make suddenly won't seem as important as they once did, but the lesson will always remain; turn down the heat on your life or else it's going to boil over on itself.
You can't live your life at a breakneck speed. You need to stop and smell the roses. It's difficult, I know, but you will regret not taking the time to take in everything that's going on around you. It's always a good idea to take some sort of breather so you can recharge as well as refocus on what is important. If you don't step back and take a look at your life, then it becomes too easy for you to miss out on what's going around you because you're too busy attempting to stay afloat. Stepping back doesn't mean stepping out of your life, it just means stopping for a moment so you can regain focus and see the things that are most important again. You can't look at what you want if you can't see it.
Often times, we get so caught up in our day to day grind that we don't realize what is going on around us. Sometimes, all we need is a little breather to focus on things that are more important or a reminder of why we should be grateful for the things we have. The time it takes for us to catch our breath will soon be enough for us to regain focus and take in the things that are most important in terms of life and work.
It's actually beneficial for any human being to take a step back from time to time and gain some perspective. You can make all the big decisions in life or you can go with the flow, either way, there's still a chance for you to regret something. Taking a step back from time to time will benefit you in so many ways. At least then you will know that whatever decisions you make were the right ones and don't come with regrets.
Life is not a race or competition. You don't get prizes for finishing first, except maybe an early death. Take it easy on yourself and allow yourself to take some time to look at what's going on around you and decide which path you want to take. Be happy but be wise as well. Don't rush through life but don't spend your days looking over your shoulder either.

No matter what anyone tells you, it's your decision and your life ... so don't let them put you down or tell you that you can't do something... for if they did ... they would be on the ground with the rest of the doubters. The best thing to do when someone says something negative is to simply turn around and walk away because they are trying to bring you down. They are only looking at one problem and ignoring the other ones... because they don't like who you really are. Don't let anyone decide your worth or what you have to offer the world... and don't listen to a word they say... because God didn't make you to fit into their mold! Don't let anyone get away with saying negative things about you ... especially when it's a lie... because if they do ... then there is no one else that will believe them either. If people like you, they will tell you so. They won't try to take advantage of you or used to hurt you. People that respect and care for other people tend not to talk about them the way others do... and the ones who don't respect and care for other people are usually talking about them behind their back. If you don't like the way someone treats you, then why are you still talking to them? The truth is that if someone doesn't respect or care for you... then why would you... and if they don't respect or care for themselves... then how can you respect or care about them? It's not hard to tell when someone is genuinely a good person ... and it's not difficult to tell when someone doesn't like who they really are. If you want to change the way people treat you ... first start by changing the way you think about yourself. You can do it! Don't let anyone put you down.
The past is gone... and so is the future... right now is all we ever have!

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius Have no doubt that you are capable of more than you think you are... believe in yourself and others will believe in you too! Never be afraid to take risks... they are there to be taken and if you don't take risks ... you can't grow. Don't let anyone tell you what to do, when to do it, or how to do it... and don't let anyone else tell you that you don't know what you're talking about! "Tell the truth-to yourself and nobody else." - Mark Twain ... But some people can be easily fooled into believing that the rest of the world is like them and that everyone thinks just like them... because they just are so small minded.
Conclusion
You can do anything you put your mind to.
