Want to be less stressed? Accept the bad days, too and stop beating yourself up

Ready to gain a secret to reducing your daily stress levels?

This powerful and ancient secret is actually quite simple, just as the best truths usually are.

This secret to reducing daily stress, as the title alludes to, is:

To accept the cyclical nature of life, without creating mental resistance to it.

The cyclical nature of life refers to the eternal dichotomies throughout the universe. It can be expressed in innumerable different spectrums, such as what goes up eventually comes down, what is hot ultimately becomes cold, or what is seen as “good” will ultimately be recognized as “bad.”

The evidence of the eternal cyclical nature of life is all around us, too, all throughout history. Assembled stars eventually decay into black holes or explode into supernovas, which give rise to new stars. The most powerful civilizations eventually die, decay, or contract, leaving space for new civilizations to expand. Every living thing eventually dies and decays into the world, and new living things are constantly born. Both your joyful and upset feelings have a shelf life, just as eventually the sun is uncovered again from behind the clouds.
