A little mentioned quality now. And very useful, especially in our turbulent and controversial times. It is the exact opposite of the popular call to pour out your feelings at any opportunity, to turn your soul inside out in front of acquaintances and strangers.
The concept of restraint is characteristic of Japanese culture and national aesthetics. And in the religious life of almost all peoples, the ability to live a deep inner life, outwardly showing little of their reactions, is valued.
A lot of passions are boiling around about the current incomprehensible situation with the epidemic, and the introduced high alert mode. If you do not take the legal and accompanying psychological aspects, then many people are dominated by irritation and fear.
Of course, ideal measures are difficult to apply. It is much easier to appoint someone to blame in order to blame all negative emotions on this hypothetical image. But what if you stop for a minute, think, exhale, and in spite of everything - try to let go of the situation?
Start the day with a clean slate, especially in terms of filtering out negativity, keeping destructive thoughts and actions out of your world? Try to calm down and see the positives even in endless sitting at home. At least for a while, reconcile, and learn to be restrained?
Do not express complaints to anyone, especially do not throw empty and useless phrases into the air. Better yet, get down to business. At the same time, as much as possible, minimizing unnecessary movements, conversations, thoughts. Compliance with the ecology of behavior can magically establish many areas of life. Yes, just to create the elementary comfort of the day, peace and regularity in life.
Restraint in dealing with people is especially useful. With relatives who sometimes unceremoniously invade our personal space. With loved ones and loved ones - so as not to violate the unsteady line of well-being in relationships. And of course with strangers, strangers, as the saying goes - out of harm's way. And with those whom you consider enemies, or who, willingly or unwillingly, offended you - God himself commanded to observe restraint in communication.
What do you think about this - should you restrain yourself, or, on the contrary, is it useful to express your feelings as much as possible?
