Life is truly a book of wisdom that you take in one step at a time. It doesn’t come with instructions but surely gives you a chance to explore yourself and return back to its guidelines. By guidelines I mean what you should ideally go through but arrogantly refuse when you want to explore the variations in front of you. In this constant exposure to varying versions of yourself, you will always stumble upon this one rule; a realization of sorts.
I call it the ‘more than the normal’ realization.
We all have a basic sense of what is normal. Very often we alter our sense of normalcy to adjust to things or people around us. Surely a good deal to adapt to life as you grow in its depth. But keeping in mind the basic idea of normal, always notice actions, behaviours, patterns and gestures that are ‘more than the normal’.
Do you come across an incessantly crying baby in the hallway? Do you experience anxiety issues with an overly hyper person? Do you see excessive anger and rage blurting out of a normal request? Sometimes, you might even find yourself stuck in a maze of adjusting way too much to other situations or opinions. In all, you might experience the more than the normal realization. In that, whatever you face with someone that is more than the normal or more than the basic amount of worry, rage, sadness or joy, is rather a mere realization that it has nothing to do with you.
Once you attain this realization, the next would be taking a slight step back to understand how secure you are in your own shoes. Do you feel the need to react? Do you think that you are actually the cause of that behaviour? Can you help? Choose a sensible approach towards the situation but most importantly, be secure in your standing of not getting carried away.
Try the more than the normal realization concept. It will not only save a lot of your time and energy but will also pose as a healthy way to let things go easily.
