What matters? (Mindfulness)

 Seriously, what matters to you? Have you ever considered that all the stuff you give a fuck about may not even deserve a single fuck?

I had some situation today. Let's call it a misunderstanding, which made my blood almost boil. But then I remembered.

"Stop, drop and roll" in case you are on fire.

What about the inside? You cannot put out an internal fire by rolling...

In that case, stop.

Literally, stop whatever you are doing or engaging in.

Drop.

The attitude, the action and furthermore the thoughts. How do you manage that fucking last one?

Roll.

Scan your thoughts. Ask yourself "does it even matter?" Do not skip the word "even", ask it with attitude. If you have time in your hands, you can also ask the reason it matters, but if you feel you are spiralling into a dead end, leave that part out.

Maybe do a body scan if it helps you. Locate the burn, the stress, the upset. Is it head? Is it chest? Alright, keep that.

Next classic move is to ask if it will matter in few days, then weeks and then years. Using the prism of time offers the big picture and a different perspective of the importance of life.

In these cases, it is probably for the best that we are not the centre of the universe. So, it WON'T matter.

Make yourself important, busy with only the finest of the life matters. Find your purpose and weed out anything that's not aligned.

Search inside yourself and if you have difficulty, then ask your mirror. What do you want?

Now, go get it.
