Ever tried running a project? If it involves more than one person, any business project comes down to handling not just your own emotions but those of other people as well. We are a bundle of bad habits wound together by entrenched behavior patterns proudly taking ownership of them. So, how does a successful businessman find time and energy to do it? By dumbing down all processes so they become easily repeatable and then doing them every day to save his brain power for really important tasks.
Think of your brain as a computer processor that can work tremendous loads but only for a short period of time before overheating; normally, the CPU should run at low capacity, only kicking into high gear when the task is very important. Most of your daily routines are exactly like that: small tasks that should be done without engaging the entirety of your mental processing power that is best spared for important jobs that require creativity.
Attempting to bruteforce problems is what causes stress. So, instead of stressing about solving problems right away, just do the routine that spends the least amount of your brain's processing power until you find a sufficiently simple solution that's better than that one. In other words, don't overthink and before adopting any routines, dumb them down.
For example, it's important that you avoid sitting for long periods of time because the lack of blood circulation in legs can cause deep vein thrombosis, resulting in a clot that can get dislodged and end up exploding in the brain or heart. Get up and do a little jig dance at least once an hour. So, you can set an alarm or you can put a nice classical music piece on, such as Vivaldi's Four Seasons that's about 40 minutes long and make it a habit to do the dance right as it's starting and when it finishes.
Now you've got two braindead habits: listening to Vivaldi and moving your feet to engage blood circulation. It's also important that you stretch and take regular breaks from staring at the screen, for example by looking out the window. Add this to the string of habits we've already created and now it's: listen to classical music, move twice, stretch and look out the window, all in the span of 40 minutes. All of a sudden, your day of sitting like a vegetable staring at the screen to consume internet content turns into active exercise and listening to classical music. As you discover problems around you, adopt dumbed-down solutions that complement one another and just string them together until your entire day is filled in a similar manner. This is what it means to actively live.
It's possible you're living in an environment where, for example, your dad is beating you with a refrigerator door while your baby brother is vomiting on your head. Now what? In that case, it's a matter of attrition. If you're outnumbered by people who waste their energy in this manner, attempting to explain anything just adds to the chaos because, let's be honest, it's not possible to stay calm and rational, so you'll be shouting at your dad and baby brother as one is hitting you with a refrigerator door and the other is vomiting on your head, adding to the clown fiesta.
If possible, just move away from this kind of chaos until it settles down and keep finding dumbest solutions imaginable to your problems. Keep in mind that it wasn't your fault that this happened; if you're aware of the problem, it's not your fault. Some environments are so chaotic that there's no way you can fix them, they'll simply keep draining your mental energy until you either convert one of people in it (highly unlikely) or just walk away.
