How To Be Chill As Heck All The Time

Could being annoyed by the smallest facets of facets be...like, avoided?

1. Channeling Others

Sometimes you may just feel far too inadequate to conquer all of the crap life flings at you on a daily basis – which is completely normal. This minor setback is v understandable, but alas, this can be fixed. Channeling someone else and attempting to see life’s problems through their eyes for a bit is seemingly creepy, but very effective. A personal fave of mine would definitely have to be Jesus. Contrary to popular belief, He was/is actually really cool. His nonchalant, no-nonsense yet charismatic personality is sure to get you through anything, from lassoing cows, to gently telling off the stranger who just sneezed on your arm, basically.

2. Chillin' Out Maxin' and Relaxin'

You know that particular scene that is in what seems like every romantic-comedy in existence? The old “Guy dumps girl, girl falls into crippling sadness, but then suddenly, girl takes a bath and lights a candle and – BOOM she’s over it.” -kinda thing? Though it may not be a failed attempt at love you are being overcome by, this may be exactly what you need to do. Run a bath so hot, you shudder at the thought of placing your foot in it. Purchase a candle – lavender and musk scents are known to be great stress relievers. Put on some well-deserved relaxation tunes. Most importantly, breathe, and think about your situation from a different perspective. Close your eyes and picture whatever is stressing you out at the moment. Will it matter in 10 years? If not, keep it movin’, sister.

3. Just...Stop Caring

In all the times that you spent worrying, did the things you worried about ever actually end up happening? Probably not. Though it may look as though you are an emotionless robot, the best way to prevent yourself from drowning in a pool of annoyance is to decide that you're no longer going to let your emotions control you. It may feel a bit difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, I guarantee you'll be as chill as an iceberg. Just..don't sink any ships.
