This world we live on easily has the potential to be a stressful and painful world of hurt and negativity, most of us are surrounded by needless and irrational drama, capable of putting any day time soap opera to shame, face it, this world of human social norms and conditioning just sucks, from school to employment, to marriage to retirement and so on, there is the potential for constant and needless drama and stress.
As well problems in life don't tend to go away either, most of the time they just get worse, or are replaced by new concerns, it is the way of this world, you may have once existed as a dragon who slept, hunted, flew around mated and didn't do much else living in a carefree feral lifestyle, but in this reality things are different and unless you are rich, there is not much you can do to change such.
So, how do we cope with this world of mendacity and needless negativity and distractions? The answer is simple, escape from time to time, get outside for perhaps an hour or listen to music or seek creative expression, whatever it takes to rest your mind and relax at the end of a long day, your best bet to avoid being beaten and battered by the stresses of this world is to seek nature, or a personal refuge to get away from time to time.
Do what you can to get out more, camp a weekend a month, go hiking or hit the beach if you can, take a nap under the tree in your yard even. You will be amazed how much it helps just to get away from Facebook, school, work, and everything else, and to just relax outdoors for awhile, watch a sunset if you can and just hang out, it is alright to take a break from life once in awhile.
It just helps to get outside, reside in the energies and feelings of being away from it all and just spend some time watching the clouds or the stars at night, listening to the waves lap the shore, the birds in the forest, the coyote's in the desert, or the pigeons on your lawn. Just get outside and rest from time to time, even if it is simply once a week, or month, try it, it will help.
If you feel you were not always human, then of course it will be reinvigorating to take a vacation from the human lifestyle and rest, however briefly it may be, and of course, what works for me, may not always work for you, but give it a try and see.
