Although utterly fictional, the vague notion of being called "The Force" is based on some real principles. In the Star Wars movie, "Force" is often talked about by members of a religious order known as the Jedi. The warrior-priests of the Jedi Order served as the main proponents of what they considered to be the main concepts of The Force.
The concept and order are fictitious, but the principles that guide the Jedi to their lives are excellent guides for living, especially in the midst of all the chaos of the modern world. Although the "dark side" of The Force is equated with the negative effects on one's life rather than the evil, the principles of the Jedi code can easily be used to formulate a personal philosophy for living a good life. That is, complete with a healthy mental attitude. Below you will find some ideas on the main tenets of Jedi philosophy and how to adapt them to the trials and tribulations of modern life.
Do not feel; There is peace.
Being able to control one's emotions is very important for the JD, because their actions should be as targeted as possible. Fear and anxiety can have a negative impact on one’s decision making, ruining one’s life. By controlling one's stress and anxiety, by separating it from the things that need to be done, if you allow yourself to analyze your anxiety situation, you can find better solutions to your problems more effectively. This notion does not recommend rejecting one’s feelings, as doing so can solve more anxiety disorders and psychological problems. It only says to allow people logic and analysis to guide their decisions, not their emotions.
There is no ignorance; Wisdom.
The Jedi Order confirmed the suggested search for knowledge. In support of the quest for enlightenment, he built a luxury library that contained information on a wide variety of topics and topics needed to educate and train the Jedi. He also shared that knowledge, better enlightening the people he was trying to protect. Taking time for people to figure things out can reduce many of the problems associated with anxiety and fear. A little knowledge can help to overcome the fear and anxiety that can arise when exposed to a completely foreign culture. In some cases, anxiety disorders can be overcome by equipping one’s mind with adequate knowledge of the source of anxiety, thereby allowing a person to better understand and deal with the problem.
No passion; There is peace.
Like the first theory, the Jedi believed it was dangerous to be too passionate about something, because it would affect one's judgment and impartiality. For those sitting in their seats, objectivity is important in almost all situations. The same can be said for almost anyone in the modern world. Emotions and interests can impair our ability to make good decisions, as well as adversely affect our ability to recognize and correct our mistakes, thereby preventing further damage. Being calm in the face of impossible bureaucracy can go a long way in keeping one's mentally healthy and away from "getting mail". As long as you do not increase your stress and anxiety by focusing on negative things, your mind will be calm and you will be able to make good decisions and see clearly what is going on in your life.
There is no death, only power.
The Jedi believed that when someone died, they would become one with The Force. This allowed him to see death not as a negative event, but only as a transition that must inevitably go back to the past. By adopting it in modern life, adverse events can be described as "death", which, as stated in philosophy, acts as a metaphor for "energy" life. In other words, regardless of all the negative events in one’s life, regardless of all the fears and anxieties, nausea triggered by corporate and family duties is basically saying that life. To use a metaphor to describe someone else, if anything bad comes to you, stop the roses and take some time to smell them. Your whole life will not be determined by a car accident or an improper ending. Life goes on and you should be as well.
Considering all the principles mentioned above, it is difficult to see how they fail to lead to a better state of mind even in the midst of the chaos of modern life. That is, if they are followed as a personal philosophy and not just taken as guidelines. Furthermore, if someone supports you contrary to the above principles, he / she is more likely to burn out quickly.
