Once you understand these principles, you will no longer feel anxious:

1. Nothing can truly hurt you. Those anxious and fearful thoughts, others' negation and belittlement, persistent worries—they are just tricks your brain plays on you. It even deceives your body; the amygdala sends out alarms, but in reality, most of what you face is unlikely to happen. Don't fret, settle down, breathe. When emotions arise, don't resist them; let them spread, observe and experience them, question them but don't respond to them.
2. Live in the present moment. Life is just an experience; there's nothing you must absolutely obtain. Obsession with outcomes leads to strong self-doubt once your beliefs collapse. Fate never unfolds as expected; individual effort is insignificant. Do what you want, regardless of whether you get it—this is the power of acceptance and surrender. Su Shi said, "Things and I are both endless treasures," going with the flow is not surrendering, but hiding the potential of the dragon.
3. Troubles don't need to be solved; they only need to be grown through. When your cognitive perspective broadens and you stand from a higher vantage point, what troubles you ceases to be a problem.
4. Seek everything inward. Not being loved doesn't mean you're bad or worthless. Let go of your attachment to parental love and create your true self. All recognition and praise come from within; your self-acceptance is controllable and safe.
5. Everything that happens will benefit me. Similar to Buffett and Charlie Munger's insistence that "I am always a survivor, not a victim." The weak focus on risks and losses; the strong see opportunities for growth. The more you see yourself as weak, the more likely you are to feel hurt and lose your initiative.
6. Be yourself; happiness will follow. Zhuangzi wrote about that bloated, crooked tree, the land of Wu Wei, the vast wilderness—no need to worry about being cut down to be a pillar. Don't be constrained by others' value frameworks, nor bound by worldly utilitarianism. Hermann Hesse said in "Siddhartha" that true and unique Dharma does not exist in the world; one's own Dharma can only be sought through personal practice.
7. Life is just an experience; there's no need to perform perfectly. Accept the darker parts of yourself, forgive sluggishness and mediocrity, allow mistakes, permit things to go against your wishes, and bloom with imperfections. Jung said that the pursuit is for wholeness, not perfection. When you actively engage with the world, regardless of the outcome, every feedback signifies genuine growth.
The most taboo thing in a low point is reckless action. Any decision made at this time is rushing forward blindly. Struggling desperately will only deepen the trap; after losing all hope, it’s like smashing the pot and breaking the wall. Save your energy well; timing is everything. Focus on the present, focus on yourself, listen less, watch less, speak less, and be present in the moment.
