Let Go of the Small Things
Not everything that bugs you is worth the energy you spend on it. In the big picture, most of life’s little frustrations are just blips on the radar!
Benefits:
- Getting angry or frustrated triggers your body’s stress response, jacking up cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure. Over time, this wears you down, making you feel anxious and on edge.
- But releasing those small annoyances allows your body to rest and find its balance again.
Life Hack:
- Next time something’s grinding your gears, ask yourself, “Will this even matter in a week, month, or year?” If not, try to let it go.

- This also helps you connect better with people and be a warm, positive presence in their lives.
Life Hack:
