The truth is that the key to relaxation and finding inner peace doesn’t rely much on work, culture, or consumption. This should be a huge relief, since regardless of where you live, what you believe, or who you are, your stress is probably the result of one of the below factors... The world does stuff to you, but your life is determined by how you react to this stuff. Most of the power is in your hands. Don’t try to convince yourself that you’re helpless, or that things can’t change. Change is the essence of everything. Embrace it and catalyze it if you are feeling helpless or dissatisfied.
