What has happened to us!
The longer we look outside ourselves for validation of any kind, the more we miss the important things. And the most important thing is: How the Heck are YOU!
Ask yourself this question. What do I do every day to shore up myself? Make myself ready for the sometimes “sh..storms” that come my way. Do you have a method, a technique, a routine that acts as a primer that assists you to automatically and repeatedly act instead of reacting to people and situations?
If you say nothing outside of avoiding how you feel, distracting yourself, dramatizing your situation, blaming others, or just accepting your survival mode (and that stress) as normal, then you can join the tens of millions in the diluted zone. And that is no way to live!
Meditation and silent contemplation are the quickest way to stillness, which leads to remembering who the hell you really are. Human beings are here to expand, explore, and play the roles as a collective society by birth or belief. Over time, we have forgotten that we are NOT the roles played (family member, occupation, race, religious belief, gender, monetary status, physical appearance, etc. They serve to create variety in our experiences and contribute to the uniqueness of being human.
The downside to this experience is that we lose or misuse our own power of capability when trapped in these roles. It sneaks in on you as you feel like you have evolved to a point where “You Know” something or everything about life’s situations, or how others’ lives should be. This false knowing is limited but feels liberating because it creates a plausible defense which helps one sort out more easily the overwhelming processes of our unique differences, and counter the sometimes assaulting nature that comes with the vast collectiveness of experiencing humanness. We see more of this today through the use of social media as a marketing force and forging as a counter to increasing isolation people feel. Which again reenforces the “You Know” ideology.
Take time to meditate and/or practice some form of positive silence contemplation. Do it everyday, for yourself. It is free and cost you only your time.
Is your peace of mind not worth that?

Sorry, I wanted to list more but my internet “google” search to You tube was out. I will follow up with more in the coming weeks.
Remember: meditation is for everyone and should generally have no belief system about it. Keep it simple and let your journey unfold.
