    So with that in mind, here are 5 ways to stop worrying from the wisdom of Lao Tzu -
    01. Slow down
    02. Surrender to the natural flow of life
    03. Embrace the present moment
    04. Simplify
    05. Let go of ego
    We hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope this video from the philosophy of Lao Tzu will help you stop worrying in our life.
    Taoism is a Chinese philosophy attributed to Lao Tzu which contributed to the folk religion of the people primarily in the rural areas of China and became the official religion of the country under the Tang Dynasty. Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style. Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer who is known to be the founder of Taoism. He is also credited as the writer of Taoism’s most sacred text, the Tao Te Ching and his words can apply to people all over the world.

    This video actually made me tear up a little. It’s like the entire video is and was about myself, feelings, hurt, etc, it spoke to me. I’ve recently decided on August 18,2023 to take my health more seriously. I went from 262 to now as of today Sept 12, 2023 251 lbs. I’m documenting everything on this channel I started. Taking my health seriously, working out, and dieting is a start for my mental clarity. NOW, to slow down as the message states…. I’m starting this right now! It’s not going to be easy for me, but change is change in my opinion. It can only get better from here on out.
    Thanks for the message 💪🏽🔥

      It's very hard to slow down in a fast pacing world. That's why I decided to move back to a smaller town and quitted my job. But I bet Lao Tzu wouldn't talk like this of he had lived in 21st century.

      It's truly reasonable to take a step back and savor life at a slower pace. Embracing a slower lifestyle can help us appreciate moments better and avoid unnecessary stress. It's a wonderful and sensible decision, and I'm glad to hear that it has had a positive impact on your life!

    Living in the present moment is easier said than done, but Lao Tzu's words hit home. Depression, anxiety, peace - it's all about where our focus lies.

      Not easy but possible. The last five of six years I’ve manage to train myself on living in the moment. I would not call myself a master but I’ve become much better at it. You can’t change the past what is done is done, learn from it and keep going. The future, we have no idea if we will still be alive five minutes from now so why worry about what the future will or might be? The only control we have is our present and how we deal with it.

    • @SearchOfSelf

      @@patrickols I completely agree! Our present moment can be the most powerful tool we have to shape our journey in life. If we can learn to accept and work with what we have, it can open so many doors!

    Embracing Wu Wei in relationships and life is a lesson in letting go and trusting the cosmic tapestry. This ancient wisdom is a timely remedy for a world obsessed with control, urging us to flow with the river of life rather than micromanage. It's not about being passive; it's about active surrender to what is, reducing anxiety and enhancing well-being. In the words of Lao Tzu: "Let reality be reality." #WuWei #LaoTzu #Mindfulness

    Number 2 is the most important yet the hardest cos so many people like me find it quite impossible to "believe" in "the big picture". If I believed in some sort of wisdom and order in the universe then I could live my life fear-free. Alas... that's exactly my problem 😕

    If you lived in a forest or jungle in ancient times, before many people were formally educated, the significance of the word PATH is a lot simpler and direct with visceral meaning - do it this way or be eaten by a predator or get lost and die alone...
    These days we are all about woowoo ancient mystics, bc we already have ROADS, both literal and figurative - advertising, laws, bosses, etc.

    Except for the pantry, the entire lower floor belongs to the animals. In other words, the lower floor consists of a hayloft, a pantry and a barn where a cow, a donkey, a calf live. There is also an oak tree in front of the small plain. Two wires run through the telephone pole next to the tree. When you reach the balcony plain in front of the door, that is, when you step out the door, whoever is on the roof of the nearest adjacent houses is visible. The entrance to one of the houses above faces us. It's like a little far away... Our roof is almost at their entrance level. The house of Crazy Egun. He has a wife and 4 children. The eldest daughter among his 4 children is healthy. The second girl is crippled. Her hands and feet are healthy. Her skill is low. Her intelligence is limited. The third girl is healthy. The last boy is in unruly, reckless and inconsiderate an identity. He is also unhealthy...

    I think the examples given are hiding the bigger picture of the Dao, therefore Lao Tzu's lessons. In the result, basing your life on these examples can have catastrophic results. Just saying. Learn from the actual source, and people studying that topic alone for their whole life, instead learning that from generic philosophy channel on youtube. It's a good "something" nevertheless, but as I said, it loses the bigger picture. You don't learn the Dao (or taoism) through making choices, you make choices by learning the Dao. They are side-effects. The key to happiness is in learning the Dao, not in the choices themselves. But I guess that (wrong) understanding is somewhat typical for western culture (that is: you do that [action], you be happy).

    I’ve done my notes and research, but this ain’t it boss. The struggle with this topic is to avoid repetition, and from start to finish it seems like a bombardment of “change”. It doesn’t ‘flow like water’, it seems like a stagnant pool. While Taoism is a form of philosophy the Yang needs to me mention, being Confucianism. Wu Wei cannot be taught, but can she shown and adapted. I hope I’m not attacking your work, but to focus on just the light goes against the ‘the way’. Without Confucianism there would be no Taoism (vice versa), and even then both parties became intertwined to accomodate each other, a perfect Yin to a Yang. If you only have good thoughts then you aren’t good, merely naïve. You must incorporate both ‘good’ and ‘evil’ or ‘boredom’ and ‘anxiety’, then just maybe you will achieve flow state.
