Be Friend with Pressure

Through the previous post, now we know how to avoid unnecessary stress. Our life will go further anyway with or without it. But the pressure self, won’t leave our life in peace. It will come as long as you struggle to live because this world is changing so fast before we can adapt to the situation and that attitude will give the pressure. How can we have an excellent resilience to face reality?

A Father that I know gave me a hint. He wanted me to check Book of Psalm chapter 4. It is about God’s protection in the night. I agree that to recover the broken soul, faith is one of the best. But I’m not going to talk something religious here. I’ll try to explain, what I learned after I read and had some thought about these nine verses said. Well, my brain isn’t good enough to discover this alone, but some helps facilitated me to construct the puzzles. It is true that this chapter gives some guidance to face pressure.

First, it said that we have to gain a correct perspective. Look away from the treat, it is better to look at Him. In most of the case, when we under pressure, our mind isn’t working at its best. So, it is okay if we chill up first, don’t late the pressure consume you. Cool your head, cool your mind, and the path will be found more comfortable.
The second part is what I found most interesting. Name the plight and position it. If we aren’t aware of what we face on, it won’t help at all. We have to analyze the problem, know it well, and plan the next move. There is some simple way similar to the previous post that I can describe here. I’m going to name it and give a tip how to handle it.

1. The pressure that enslaves. Leave it.
2. The pressure that strengthens. Overcome it.
3. The pressure that you can do nothing. Satisfy on it.

If you at work, and got a ton list to do, doesn’t mean you should leave them. The first pressure is more like when you are working hard, and you got no benefit from them, you didn’t even get paid, you merely getting exploited, then you should leave. The second type of pressure is something good, not all of the weight has a harmful impact on us. If your teacher gives you homework, you should finish it, and you gain something back. And if we are sick because of some kind of virus outbreak that has no cure at the moment, we should accept the reality. Or let said you have a favorite mug to drink coffee. You have to prepare yourself that it made of ceramic and if your friend accidentally broke it, you have to accept it. It will give less pain in your emotional state, and that’s the target of pressure type number three.

And now is the last part, it wants us to face the problem. Even if it is harsh and demanding, we have to face the challenge. If you can solve it alone, let people that you trust to guide you. And if you believe in God, you can also pray and hide under His protection. The thing is, ready your heart, to face and solve the problem. Believe in yourself, believe in God, from this, you will get your own magic to defeat the enemy. Uppsss somehow, I remember that dialog from an anime Little Witch Academia. Focus, prepare, and endure yourself to face it.

I’m writing these stuffs, doesn’t mean that I’m mastering it. Hopefully, it will work on me, because I believe that it works on other 😊
