Life Practice
"Don't take it so seriously!"We make life into a soap opera with all our exaggerated dramas. There are some people who are drama queens and some who are drama kings. To make their lives into soap operas, they have to take everything very seriously. That's what makes for a captivating drama--serious, serious, serious! Yet, by taking their lives that seriously, they suffer the consequences--misery, broken relationships, and unhappiness. When we find ourselves feeling weighted down by life, we can step back and use the practice "Don't take it so seriously!" As soon as we say this to ourselves, we wake ourselves up to the drama we're choosing to live within. This gives us the choice to stop the drama and to live like a normal person, which may be hard for drama queens and kings.
