Learn to be more unbothered

If you are not an unbothered person and would like to become less bothered by the things around you, doing these few simple things will help reduce your stress level.

First, stop comparing yourself to others!

This accomplishes nothing but to create jealousy.

If you are going to compare yourself to anyone, compare yourself to how you were last week, a month ago, or a year ago.

This will help you learn to recognize your growth and areas that still need a little work.

Second, manage your expectations. This means setting SMART goals and being patient with yourself.

Learn how to adapt to the situations around you and the fluidity of life.

Third, start protecting your energy.

Focus on the positive, and build a tribe of people who do the same.

Don’t constantly feed the negative emotions or people around you.

Last, speak less and listen more, and be careful of judging others.

Listening will help you understand others and the world around you.

Also, none of us are perfect, and it isn’t our job to judge others.
