Daoismus and stoic

Walking through the streets in Germany, I found out that choosing a path of Daoism and stoic has been the right way for me. The answer I have now found on this path is convincing for me, even if it is not easy.

One of the first steps in the opinion of Psychologists, mindfulness trainers, and meditation professionals is, first of all, to recognize that there are challenging phases in life - and evidently the present situation is one. It is precisely this acceptance of a crisis that is to many people, even today - rather strange.

The social climate is all about the struggle for self-optimization, growth, and feasibility as psychotherapists say. Many people have a - can't do is not existing - a mentality that ignores reality. It makes dealing with the unreasonable demands of life more difficult. We have forgotten how to endure difficult phases, limitations, or stressful emotions. Realize that there is always rejection and restraint - and that it is entirely harsh to demand only the best of life.

Many of my friends initially wanted to work as effectively as before. It took a while for them to accept that this is not possible, you can't go into a fight against the problem right now. The dilemma not only means that you lose all calm and friendly attitudes towards yourself, the constant struggle against unpleasant conditions additionally reinforces the problem.

Some psychologists present us with many pearls of wisdom of the so-called Daoism, a 2000-year-old Chinese philosophy of life that is associated with thinkers like Laotse. One of the essential principles of this teaching is that it is necessary to give up the fight - especially against yourself. If your philosophy of life is: Life is a fight, you have the opportunity to change something right here. Your attitude determines your feeling of life. Mixing this with some of the stoic approaches gives my mind enough peace to get out and still have fun with photography.
