The older I get the better I am at putting this into practice! 🌴
The Art of Becoming Unbothered! It's a Pillar of the Pura Vida Mindset!
I think one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves as we get older is learning the fine art of becoming UNBOTHERED. Not uncaring. Not cold. Not walking around pretending nothing matters. Quite the opposite. It’s simply realizing that EVERYTHING DOESN’T DESERVE A PIECE OF YOU! Somebody cuts you off in traffic? Let them go. Maybe they’re late. Maybe they’re having a terrible day. Maybe they’re just an idiot. Either way, why invite them to live rent-free in your head for the next three hours? Someone disagrees with you on Facebook? BREAKING NEWS! The world will continue spinning. Someone doesn’t like you? Congratulations! You have officially joined the other eight billion people on Earth who aren’t liked by everybody.
Becoming unbothered is about learning to protect your most valuable possession: YOUR PEACE! We spend way too much of our lives reacting. Somebody says something—we react. Something doesn’t go our way—we react. The restaurant gets our order wrong and suddenly we’re acting like someone stole the family inheritance. Come on! Send the chicken back, smile and enjoy your drink. Life is too damn short to spend Tuesday angry about something that happened Monday involving someone who probably forgot about it five minutes later. I’ve learned that you don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to. You don’t have to correct every person who’s wrong. You don’t have to win every disagreement. And you certainly don’t have to carry somebody else’s bad mood around with you. Sometimes the most powerful words in life are simply: “Oh well.” Oh well... NEXT!
Protect your mornings. Protect your attitude. Protect your laughter. Protect the people you love. And above everything else, protect your peace. There will always be noise around us. There will always be somebody complaining, criticizing, arguing or telling you how you should be living YOUR life. Let them. You have better things to do. You have people to love, places to go, sunsets to watch, laughs to share and another beautiful day sitting right there in front of you waiting to be enjoyed. The trick isn’t eliminating all the noise from your life. That’s impossible. The trick is realizing that YOU DON’T HAVE TO TURN UP THE VOLUME! Smile. Let it go. Keep moving. And enjoy this crazy, wonderful, beautiful ride. Pura Vida!
