Acharya Prashant begins by stating that as a person, one is not designed to be perfect. He explains that all perfection is just idealism and fanciful imagination. The first way to relieve anxiety is to rest now, even if it doesn't seem convenient. He explains that restlessness lives on the promise of an eventual rest, but there is no such thing. When you recognize that you will not get any rest anywhere at any point in time, restlessness cannot stand on its own, and you enter into rest right now. The second way is to accept anxious moments and not fight them. He points out that people often plan to "slaughter" anxiety when it returns, acting like a soldier or a fighter. However, this very thought of anxiety is what makes you anxious. The issue is not anxiety itself but the imagination about it and the bad name given to it. By planning against anxiety, you are hastening its arrival. If you are anxious about anxiety, you already have more anxiety. He questions why one cannot let anxiety be and why it is so important to have a clean, sanitized, decorated self-image. He suggests that it is not a disgrace to be anxious, afraid, or troubled, and that these feelings are often resisted due to ideals about how a wise or spiritual person should be. The third way is to allow yourself to be silly. Give yourself the freedom to be unburdened, as there is no obligation to carry the loads you are accustomed to. He describes the world as outrageous and silly, and questions why one must always look composed and respectable. The fourth way is to not create stress. He explains that stress is not inherent in life but is created by the mind. When the mind is preoccupied with the future, it creates stress in the present. The desiring, planning mind is what creates stress. The advice is to simply be and keep living. The final way is to give up what makes you heavy. People have the idea of finding happiness somewhere external, like in a shopping mall, a movie, or a new child, but this is a false hope that leads to disappointment. Giving up this false hope is happiness. Happiness is giving up your headache. It is not something tangible but is the act of giving up what makes you heavy, dull, and frustrated. To have depth in life, one must experience the entire spectrum of living, including maddening anger, lust, and temptation, without suppressing them or giving them false names. One must be able to call dishonesty as dishonesty, lust as lust, and anger as anger, and yet stand firm. A blessed person is one who can acknowledge their past foolishness and even laugh at it. A person is limited, and life has a total diversity of colors, including anxiety, which should not be dismissed. One should not postpone life in expectation of a perfect, anxiety-free moment but instead enjoy what one has, even if it is anxiety.
