You may not switch off stress in one go, but you can interrupt it. Pause. Exhale slowly. Relax your shoulders. Name what you need. Small moments of safety help your nervous system reset.

Ten years ago I attended a meditation with Tibetan monks.

For a while afterward, I talked with this dude. He was enamored with my beard. Then he asked if he could touch it. Someone got a snap of us in the moment.

His bright energy was infectious. I bet he’s a great friend.

I’ve been thinking about him since I read the news about the flash flood. I hope he’s okay. It has given me some anxiety.

A quotation from The Bible

Wine is very life to humans
   if taken in moderation.
What is life to one who is without wine?
   It has been created to make people happy.
Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation
   is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
   
[ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώποις,
   ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν ἐν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ.
τίς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ;
   καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις.
ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς
   οἶνος πινόμενος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτάρκης·]

The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:27ff (Sir 31:27–28) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

He who has so little knowledge of human nature, as to seek happiness by changing any thing but his own dispositions, will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the griefs which he purposes to remove.

Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1750-04-07), The Rambler, No. 6

Our happiness doesn't depend on somebody else's action or on anything else. It doesn't depend on our success, but rather on the effort we're willing to put into everything we do. Even if people disappoint or fail us left and right, even if people turn against us, hurt us, lie about us, don't understand us, even if they think they know everything about us and judge us unfairly, they can't infringe upon our happiness. True happiness means that we have a deep-seated peace and tranquility that transcends all the difficulties of life, that cannot be disturbed by the chaos and warfare that might touch our lives.
-- The Monks of New Skete

A quotation from Euripides

MESSENGER:       I have not now first learn’d that all
   Th’ affairs of mortal men are a mere shadow:
   Nor would I fear to say that those, who most
   Boast of their wisdom and their deep research,
   The widest in the paths of folly stray.
   No mortal man is happy: if the tide
   Of wealth flows in upon him, one may be
   More fortunate than others, happy never.
 
[ἌΓΓΕΛΟΣ: τὰ θνητὰ δ᾽ οὐ νῦν πρῶτον ἡγοῦμαι σκιάν,
   οὐδ᾽ ἂν τρέσας εἴποιμι τοὺς σοφοὺς βροτῶν
   δοκοῦντας εἶναι καὶ μεριμνητὰς λόγων
   τούτους μεγίστην μωρίαν ὀφλισκάνειν.
   θνητῶν γὰρ οὐδείς ἐστιν εὐδαίμων ἀνήρ:
   ὄλβου δ᾽ ἐπιρρυέντος εὐτυχέστερος
   ἄλλου γένοιτ᾽ ἂν ἄλλος, εὐδαίμων δ᾽ ἂν οὔ.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1224ff (431 BC) [tr. Potter (1814)]

✮ Blinker ✮

We spend so much time blinking and looking away,
we blink so much that we don’t realize our fuse is alight.
A turn of the dial,
into another scene,
never rooted in the moment,
as transient as everything mortal.
We blink, to erase the unpleasant,
we blink, to jump forward,
coil our bodies around rest,
wrap paychecks inside our hands,
so, we can blink a little more.
We skip and jump out of the day,
when tomorrow is worse than today,
we blink it away,
as if we have unlimited blinks,
and soon enough we’ll hit a wall
and wish we could have kept our eyes open
more frequently.

Here today; gone tomorrow, never take anything for granted.

When complaining about long walks, someone is dreaming of having such luxury. Walks that people take for granted mean everything to someone else who is bound by a condition that prevents them from doing so. They could be bedridden; they could be hiding in fear in a war zone; they could be impeded by physical conditions that limit them.

You complain about tidying up. It’s because you have a home. You stress out over traffic. It’s because you have a car. You can’t deal with the noise. You have a family. Someone out there wants what you have but can only dream of it.

When frowning in dissatisfaction over a prepared meal, think about that person who took time and poured every ounce of their heart, hoping to bring you happiness. Think.

Be grateful that you are in school; not everyone is afforded such an opportunity. Not as a promise to secure a job, but to learn. Bitterness often comes from discounting what people already have. Contentment, as they say, is the key to happiness. Dream, but be forgiving. If it’s yours, it will come to fruition. If not, steady your heart and live with what you have.

Never neglect people or things that add, give, and bring value to your life. Blessed are those who can’t count how many people they love with their fingers. If you do, you’re already rich. Hurray! You will have someone to turn to.

At the end of the day, when all that you take for granted is gone, what will be left of you?
