Life is hard in general. We often find ourselves in some situations that we struggle and find it difficult to get out of, sometimes it's pressure at work, pressure at home or even pressure that is self-imposed, which may be a target or goal unachieved, or you are running out of time. One could be worried that he is not doing enough or that his best is not good enough to give him the life he so wishes for and desires that he puts himself under pressure and, in so doing, gets depressed in the end.
What I usually do with life before now was to live each day at a time, I live in the moment and accept whatever tomorrow brings, I used to be a man of faith and always believed that everything has its time. If I feel pressured, it is the time I should feel pressured, and that will pass with time. I usually believe in the saying that what will be will be, which makes it difficult for me to fall in deep pressure.
This ideology, I believe, was wrong. If you want something, you struggle for it, make plans, and when the plan fails, get back up, dust yourself up and make another plan until you get it. It is better to try and fail than not try at all because of the fear of failure.

What do I do when I feel pressured? I usually find it relaxing to eat my way out of pressure. When I feel pressured, is when I eat a lot, which helps me sleep better and reset. I believe there is no life that is without pressure; pressure is a way that one knows that he is putting in effort to be better.
A lot of people perform well under pressure, but without pressure, they often achieve little to nothing. Pressure is not always a bad thing; it only depends on how you deal with it. Pressure may make you think better and achieve good results sometimes. Just like the way pressure is required in a thermal plant to produce electricity, some people require pressure to work better.
I was in a conversation with my friend today, and in the conversation, I told him how I felt like I had failed and my time has passed, how I will be walking on foot and would see younger people driving their cars passing me on foot, what he told me was that everyone has their own time, all we need to do is to be prepared to when our time comes. People will always be worried about something, even those who have more than you are worried that they want more. In the end, we all have to be content with what we have, and the pressure of life will reduce, if not vanish completely.
It is good to know that we can’t escape pressure as humans; once in a while, as long as we live, we only need to understand ourselves better and know what works for us and how to manage it whenever we fall under pressure.
My name is @rishagamo, and above is my submission for the Sci-Fi Multiverse prompt Week 38 Edition 2 “MANAGING LIFE PRESSURE”.
It seems that it is so light hah! !ALIVE 😄👏
Knowing what works for us is of highly important as some would only be chasing shadows of others. Thanks for sharing.
I like the idea of tali g it one step at a time. It's one of the most effective approach to life that many might fail to realise. And yes, pressure shouldn't always be viewed as something bad. A friend of mine also told me of how ge does better with pressure. We should know ourselves and how we tackle pressure better.
