In this video, I'm going to share with you 5 tips to not take life too seriously.
Hi this is Supreet.
I upload new videos every Sunday about personal growth, meditation and parenting.
You can follow me at Grow With Supreet on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
One of my favourite quotes is: “Don’t take life too seriously.
No one gets out of it alive.”
We all know this fact, but we tend to forget it.
I have to admit I am also guilty of taking life too seriously.
I feel that after becoming a parent, I have become more serious.
NO skydiving.
Be silly with my kids.
I am usually very serious all the time with my kids.
I have to teach them to not take life too seriously.
Teach them hard work, meditation, process your emotions, …. what about teaching them
this life skill – to not take life too seriously.
In this video, I will share 5 tips to help you and me not take life too seriously.
1.
Watch comedy.
Pretty much the only TV shows I watch are comedy shows.
The office, Parks and Rec, Kapil Sharma Show.
Many comedians have a very tragic life.
A few of the comedians I watch have depression.
Comedy comes out of tragedy.
Having a sense of humour is a way to deal with life.
It’s a wonderful coping mechanism, in my opinion.
2.
Read books that help you not take life too seriously.
Power of Now.
But it is a heavy book.
If you want a light book or a non-spiritual book, I would highly recommend Don’t Sweat
the Small Stuff – which was recommended to me by my friend Shruti.
You can find links to both in the description below.
3.
Night sky.
Stars galaxies.
WE are so insignificant yet we make
ourselves and our problems the center of the universe.
Relative time wise.
We are here for a blink of an eye.
We have been given a gift.
Do you really want to spend your time worrying about things…?
SUBSCRIBE 4.
Contemplate Death.
We’re all going to die.
That’s the only guarantee in life.
Lets live lives to the fullest.
Lets enjoy to the fullest.
When I die, I don’t want to look back and think I should have enjoyed my life more.
I should have not taken life too seriously.
Myself too seriously.
I wish my dad had not taken life too seriously, and enjoyed it a bit more.
Your loved ones are going to wish the same for you.
5.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
The mom in ET had an alien living in her house for days and didn’t notice.
We are often very hard on ourselves and have very high expectations of ourselves.
When we fail, we kick ourselves too much.
Try not to be so hard on yourself.
Tell yourself it’s ok to fail.
There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Learn from your failures and move on.
Life is like a video game.
Just keep on trying to improve your own high score.
1% better every day.
Or 1% better every week.
Me waking up.
I tell myself it’s ok.
Forgive myself.
Not taking life so seriously is something I need to learn too.
Most of my videos are serious.
But once in a while I upload light-hearted videos just to make you smile or laugh.
Funny meditation.
In the future, I am going to have some joke or something silly in every video, even if
it is a serious topic.
Some videos purely to make you laugh.
The brand I am trying to build is personal development with a dash of humour.
Laugh while you are growing and grow while you
are laughing.
