does life get easier?

22 year old student getting ground down by work, uni, no money. Just seems it’s like this forever and it’s so hard to enjoy life. I’m not depressed, I have a happy life, nice boyfriend, loving family but I can’t seem to get my head around bills, stress etc. I can’t sleep i’m so stressed!

No it will not be forever. One day (hopefully?) you will graduate and get a better job.

Sometimes it can feel like we’re stuck in a repetitive cycle-work, school, work, school. But just try to find the time to see something new every day-it can be anything, a tree you have never noticed on the way to school, somebody acting funny. Laugh at it and remember that your #1 goal is not your career or school, its happiness. And remember that it is a state of mind you can escape to no matter how stressful the situation-all you have to do is change your perspective on it. Aside from that, the common sense things: get enough sleep, eat well and EXERCISE. You’d be amazed how much exercise helps. Good Luck!

Also keep in mind, theres alot of well educated people with good jobs and lots of money that are still overwhelmed by day to day life. Stress is what it is and as long as you are living it will be. All you can do is try to alleviate it as much as possible. Dont try to figure out too much at one time, ( you have to relax sometimes) let your friends and family help you as much as they can (which can also take a load off). Take a few minutes everyday to have to yourself. I know it saounds cheezy, read a book, go for a walk, go to a mattinee (they’re pretty cheap!). It’s little things that make a big difference!

Make a list of everything that’s getting you down.
Go for a brisk walk, eat an apple.
split your list up onto separate pages.
take one page at a time and work at it until it’s not near as overwhelming as it was.
put it face down, and tomorrow, you deal with one other page.
day by day, your woes will be less

as for bills, pay what you can. most companies will assume a smaller payment is far better than getting nothing.

Happiness and pain are relative to the world.
If there is more happiness in world we will be happy. If there is more pain we will be in pain.
If we make someone happy our happiness grows. If we share someones pain our pain reduces.
Every breadth we take is on a loan which has to be paid. Every being has to live its share of pain. We suffer when we resist taking the daily dose of pain. Our daily resistance to pain postpones the moment of reckoning until we do not have sufficient strength to resist, than the pain will come back in a big chunk as a catastrophe. Good people suffer when they forget to pay the wages to live everyday.

The good man is deluded into thinking that his goodness will fetch him a free lunch. The bad man is always guilty of his badness and try’s to compensate by selling his pain to others. So do not be inert let your goodness be useful to others.
Remember a humming bird flaps its wings 50 times a second and feeds 5 times its weight to get the energy inorder to live. Certainly we need not exert ourselves so much to just live forget the happiness.
