A unique method for accepting reality as it is, called “So what?”, allows one to deal independently with the most unsolvable problems.
The method is simple, convenient to use, and requires no special mat, no incense, no marathon subscription, and no three-day retreat in the mountains with people who say the word “energy” far too confidently.
So.
Do you have a problem?
Have you tried to solve it and failed?
Have you tried many times?
Have you tried once?
Have you not tried at all, but already feel tired in advance?
Excellent.
The method is exactly for you.
1. Sit comfortably.
2. Say your problem out loud.
For example:
“No one understands me.”
“I ruined everything again.”
“The world is unfair.”
“I have no strength.”
“I do not know what to do.”
“Everyone around me is somehow wrong, and I, of course, just happened to be among them by accident.”
3. Ask yourself the first checking question:
“So what?”
4. Answer honestly.
5. Ask the second checking question:
“So what?”
6. Answer honestly again.
7. Repeat the algorithm until something tired but enlightened sounds inside:
“Nothing, really.”
This is where acceptance begins.
Not because the problem magically disappeared.
Not because the world immediately corrected itself, apologized, and sent compensation.
Not because you became a saintly person with the face of an advertisement candle.
But because you finally stopped feeding the problem with your own hysteria.
The problem may remain.
But its crown has fallen.
It is no longer the queen of your inner empire.
Not the high priest of your anxiety.
Not the editor-in-chief of your book of complaints.
It simply is.
And once it simply is, something can already be done with it.
Or not done.
And life can still be lived.
Congratulations.
The problem has not been destroyed.
But its drama has.
And that, my friends, is already almost a victory...
