The Sydney Morning Herald: go with the flow
“It is endlessly frustrating to be told to “just relax” or “just be yourself” when you’re feeling anything but. Often, being told to “take it easy” makes you feel even more self-conscious and stressed.
But, according to Professor Edward Slingerland, it’s exactly that “go with the flow” state that we should strive to achieve.”
