A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I find the idea of not expecting too much of oneself can be extremely liberating. Just let go of the stress, relax and enjoy life.
What do you do about people who obligate you otherwise though?
I seem to find myself under managers like this all the time for example—unending, "I want you to rise up to the occasion"-types. Largely because they just yes-man whatever their bosses ask for without further consideration.
