mellow out

I just get stressed out. I need to mellow out. Take it easy

It measures your aggravation/satisfaction levels in several areas of everyday life.

My score was 12 (25 aggravations and 37 satisfactions), which is good. I get a lot of satisfaction from the people in my life and overall health, and my main aggravators have to do with being disorganized and never having enough time.
I like to keep things in perspective as much as possible. I try not to sweat the small sh*t.

I think I need to chill out a bit and take everything a bit more slowly… I just need to ignore people and… well, mellow out!

man i really try to mellow out and theres many a time where i really let it go but sometimes i just wanna start a house-fire and say forget it. Like i cant come home and just enjoy the fact that i dont have to be at wok anymore fo the rest of the afternoon but as soon as i come through the door i get hammered with non-sense and poor logic on how everyone else has had such a freakin horrible day. WAIT! shut the FU*K up i say and did you even wonder how mine was? How bout you step off a cliff and hit a few rocks on the way to the bottom so you suffer a little before its over. Than you can tell me you had a bad day. :)

Sometimes i am entirely to high strung

I’m relatively mellow by nature, and it generally takes a lot to get me excited. But that doesn’t me there isn’t room for work here. I’m one of those personalities that is governed by logic and pretty much sees the world from the emotionless black and white point of view. Given that, logic is my weapon of choice. I can debate a topic just as passionately as anyone else, and absolutely annihilate their feelings along the way. (Hurt feelings, discredited emotions, etc. just don’t play into the equation for me)

When I have to deal with someone who is responding emotionally to whatever situation they are currently facing, that’s when I start to get fired up. Generally I want to tell these people to take their feelings and lay down in front of a train. So my goal is going to be to change my instinctual response such that I can stay mellow and relaxed even when dealing with these types of people.

Changing your base personality is almost impossible so I’m going to start small. For now I’m going to focus on my relationship with my wife. (She has a much more emotionally driven personality than I) There are times when we’ll get angry with each other over something stupid. Generally, it’s probably because I discredited her emotional response to something, she reacted defensively, and it escalated from there. So I’m going to try and knock that crap off. Even if I’m marginally successful, making a great relationship even better will be a tremendous win.

this is my first enty so, hi everyone : ).

I am pretty umpopular at school so its hard to be mellow when eveyone is horrible to you, i can go into the day saying “ok, ill be melow n chill all day” but what do you say when people are been horrible to you? i can just ingnore them but there coments are still reaching me and making me upset and frustrated so i end up not been able to be mellow later on. what should i do? : (

I love being mellow. I’m just a mellow person. Cool, calm, and collected. There are THOSE FEW moments though- BRIEF moments- where I lose that mellow-ness… Those times are few, though.
And that rest: I just go with the flow. Ride the wave. ETC, ETC.
People give compliments on it, too.

It pays off… I think it’d also help lower the chances of having a heart-attack when older, right? Right.

Like the great Robert Frost said:

In 3 words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned in life: IT GOES ON

Ijust decided to grin and bear it, laugh it off, and refuse to let him press my buttons. He actually finds it more frustrating this way, since he WANTS to piss me off. But oh well, he’ll have to find someone else to aggravate. I’m not his mark.
