Rather than using TV, or rushing about to escape stress and unwanted thoughts, you can distract your mind with something naturally soothing and relaxing, something that can flip the switch between stress and relaxation in minutes. Your breath.&#8221;</p>

Usually, we react to this by grasping for memories, even if they&#8217;re painful, to get our sense of identity back.  However, I suggest, simply allowing that memoryless state to be for a little while can help us realize that, in our essence, we are separate from our memories.  This realization helps liberate us from the stress caused by memories of painful events.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Andrew</strong> presents <a href="http://personalhack.com/2008/01/9-smart-persverence-tips/">9 Smart Perseverance Tips</a> posted at <a href="http://personalhack.com">Personal Hack</a>, saying, &#8220;*** Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ~ William Feather ***</p>
<p>Perseverance, or persistent determination, is a common personal development topic, and therefore I will not be discussing perseverance in it’s traditional sense. What I will be discussing is smart perseverance. The problem with the traditional concept of perseverance is it’s vagueness. When should you persist and when should you just quit and move on? When is perseverance smart, and when is it just a waste of time?</p>
<p>Smart perseverance simply is a conscious persistent determination. It involves regularly evaluating each one of your goals and actions deciding whether or not you should keep going. These tips will shed a lot more light on smart perseverance.&#8221;</p>
