Find harmony with yourself

Enrages that you have to stay at home, right? A neighbor with a puncher also infuriates, and in general, it seems that everything around only exists to get on the nerves. It's time to master the art of a conscious relationship to the world and yourself.

First, break your bad habits. And no, we're not talking about smoking or the tradition of slapping a glass or two of wine after a working day. Habits to please everyone and to do something just out of a sense of duty are also pulling you down. Instead, learn simpler attitudes to help you deal with stress. And if it doesn't work out, breathing practices will help out - we have a whole instruction on how to breathe in order to calm down.
