RE: Steemians' Stress Survival Guide
One of my daily goals each day is to make sure my Wife and Kids all have a really good laugh. It's rare that I can't achieve this and help make sure to keep the mood light and entertaining in our house. There is no question that humor helps bring down stress levels in our house, but by using humor and allowing ourselves to laugh at stupid mistakes we make (that is I make) it helps let everyone in the house know not to take themselves to seriously.
We all make mistakes and not allowing those mistakes to get us down helps avoid the stress in the first place vs having to try and de-stress. The most stressed out people I know take themselves and their actions WAY to seriously. They for some reason think that perfection is possible...LMAO.
Anyways I can go on and on about this, but will just leave you with a simple thought that I heard when I was really young and taking myself way to seriously. It's a twist on a famous quote, but it seems more fitting IMO.
Dance like Nobody is Watching, Sing like Nobody can Hear You, and Love Like there is No Tomorrow.
Haha, your home must be a cheerful place! This is so so so great! I am absolutely sure that this is one of the best things a parent could give to their children - the sense that life is good, everything is achievable and there is nothing that scary about the world outside. Not only that I am sure, but psychological research shows it again and again :D
This is an extremely wise approach IMO. To be honest, this a thing that I really hate about myself. From time to time, I get a bit carried away, a bit too serious, and a bit too much aiming to perfection that doesn't even exist as you said. But everyone has their own struggles :D I try to cope with it, and your comment reminded me of the importance of being... the opposite of Ernest :D Thanks! :)
Dear @insight-out

Dear @thedarkhorse
That's a great goal to have buddy :) There is nothing that can bring mood up better than seeing people you love being happy.
