Lessons on How Not to Give a Fuck...Every Day.

A lot of people want to know how not to give a fuck about certain things...appearance, other people's opinions, jealousy etc, because simply just letting go and not caring at all seems like an easy solution. Most of the time when a situation keeps coming up in your life that is bothering you and you're tired of wasting energy by giving a fuck about it maybe not giving a fuck and taking no action is actually just avoiding that situation. The key to truly being able to let go of any fucks given in recurring situations like these is to accept the situation you're facing for what it is, and then taking the steps that are necessary to change it.

Change is something that is easier said than done, both because of fear of the unknown and because it takes effort. Most people would rather try to find an easy solution rather than put in the work required to get the change they want. If you work hard at something, you will get some kind of results. Once you are doing that, then it's much easier to stop giving a fuck about other people's opinion on things. Really investing time and attention into yourself and being the baddest, most awesome person you can be is the key to truly being able to not give a fuck in almost any situation.

If you find yourself continually being anxious or upset about something you aren't accepting whatever it is. Ask yourself: 1. Are you accepting the facts? You are who you are, and everyone is awesome in their own ways...accept yourself as you are. That is the first step. Second question: Is this changeable? Can you take any kind of action to get yourself to a level where you would feel better? Then DO that. And if it's one of those rare things that you can't change, come to terms with the fact that worrying and stressing wont change a thing. So embrace it. The only other option is letting something that you can never change repeatedly stress you out, with no end in sight. Once you have accepted yourself and all your flaws, no one can use them against you. Just have the wisdom to know the difference between the two, be honest with yourself.

There are no shortcuts or magic bullets to get us everything we want, we get in what we put in. Sometimes there are things we need to either start doing or stop doing and we truly wont be able to NGAF until we handle those because deep down we know this. You realize just how much power you have over what happens in your life. Once you have chosen who and what you want to be and are actively working toward those goals, it's a lot easier to accept who you are. Once you have truly accepted yourself, it's effortless to not give a fuck about things like people's opinion of you.

We have to learn to accept some hard truths sometimes instead of ignoring them or trying to solve a symptom and not the problem. You can read about HOW to do that all day every day, but it wont mean a thing unless you implement it. Take steps every day to lead the most epic life possible, whatever that means to you. When something repeatedly comes up that bothers you, examine the problem, solve it or accept it, and (less stressful) life goes on.
