see dali48 and "Zen finds religion in the daily activities." (I-tuan), see Does Zen believe in a soul? - However, the Buddha taught that there are no such things as a permanent Self or Soul which can be reincarnated or reborn after death (Rahula, 1974: page 3). The Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh believes there is no reincarnation in Buddhism (Miller, 2012).
see What is a Zen spirit? - Zen is defined as a state of calm where actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort. The term comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Chan – with roots to the Indian practice of thinking and meditating known as Dhyana.
see What is the psychology of Zen? - Zen is experiential, not didactic. Enlightenment relies heavily on intuition, metaphor, and poetry. The master can point in the general direction toward wisdom, but each person must find their own personal path.19.03.2022
see Is Zen ok for Christians? - Because they are not on the same plane, Zen and Christianity do not conflict. Graham in his book, Zen Catholicism also points out that there is no harm in applying Zen insights into Catholicism.
see Does Zen believe in afterlife? - In Zen, Life and Death are one, a continuum, and they are not separated and there is no dividing line between them (as, indeed, there is actually no dividing line between anything, there only seems to be – divisions are arbitrary and made to enable us to function in the finite world, what Zen calls 'the world of form') ...10.03.2014
see How does Zen affect life? - Zen meditation reduces stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and deep-breathing techniques.

see What makes a person Zen? - They don't let stress, anger, or frustration get the better of them. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word “zen” refers to a person's ability to remain calm and relaxed in the face of difficulties and not worry about things out of their control.27.02.2021
see Is Zen good for Mental Health? - Meditation and mindfulness practices like Zen Therapy have also been shown to have a variety of other positive effects, both mentally and physically, such as promoting feelings of calmness, improving sleep and immune function, reducing feelings of stress and increasing self-awareness.09.11.2022
Let go of something you like, and realize how fleeting it is by living without it... (Ayya Khema) 
What is the Buddhist quote about pain? - A quote usually attributed to Buddha says, “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.” What a profound statement! There is no suffering if you can let go. Pain becomes immaterial in the absence of suffering.29.01.2012

Yes, anxiety can be compared to tormenting nightmares in that both involve intense negative emotions and can disrupt sleep and daily life. While nightmares are specifically defined as frightening or disturbing dreams, anxiety can manifest in dreams as tension, stress, or fear, leading to similar distress. Both can be triggered by stress, anxiety, and other life challenges. Here's a more detailed explanation: Shared Negative Emotions: Both anxiety and nightmares involve experiencing intense negative emotions such as fear, dread, and a sense of being overwhelmed. Sleep Disruption: Anxiety can manifest as nightmares, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Triggering Factors: Both anxiety and nightmares can be triggered by stress, anxiety-provoking situations, and even specific events or memories. Impact on Daily Life: The distress caused by both anxiety and nightmares can impact a person's ability to function effectively during the day, affecting concentration, mood, and overall well-being. Potential for Overlap: Some individuals may experience nightmares that are specifically related to their anxiety, while others may have anxiety-related dreams that don't necessarily reach the intensity of a nightmare but still cause significant distress. Seeking Help: If anxiety or nightmares are persistent and significantly impacting quality of life, seeking professional help is recommended to address the underlying causes and develop coping strategies.

To feel free and happy on one's own, it's crucial to cultivate self-acceptance and engage in activities that bring personal fulfillment and joy. This involves becoming comfortable with solitude, developing hobbies, and creating a fulfilling life independent of external validation. 
Here are some specific strategies:
1. Embrace Solitude:
Become comfortable with your own company: Recognize that being alone doesn't equate to loneliness, but rather an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. 
Engage in activities you enjoy: Pursue hobbies, spend time in nature, read, or simply relax in a way that brings you joy. 
Create a comfortable living space: Make your home a sanctuary where you feel relaxed and at ease. 
2. Cultivate Personal Growth:
Set personal goals:
Work towards achieving goals that are meaningful to you, whether they are related to fitness, career, or personal development. 
Learn new skills:
Challenge yourself by taking up a new hobby, learning a new language, or pursuing a course of study. 
Practice mindfulness:
Engage in activities that help you stay present in the moment and manage your thoughts and emotions. 
3. Nurture Physical and Mental Well-being:
Stay physically active:
Engage in regular exercise that you enjoy, which can improve your mood and overall well-being. 
Prioritize self-care:
Take time for activities that nourish your body and mind, such as getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques. 
Connect with nature:
Spend time outdoors, which can have positive effects on your mood and reduce stress. 
By actively pursuing these strategies, individuals can develop a sense of self-sufficiency and find happiness and contentment in their own company.

The saying "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" is a proverb that encourages a positive and optimistic attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. It means that when you encounter difficult or challenging situations, you should try to find a way to make the best of them and turn them into something positive. 
The phrase is often used metaphorically, with lemons representing difficult situations or bad luck, and lemonade representing a positive outcome or a way to make the best of a bad situation. For example, if you lose your job, you might use the time to learn a new skill or pursue a different career path, effectively turning a negative situation into an opportunity for growth. 
Here's a breakdown of the key ideas behind the saying: 
Adversity:
The "lemons" in the saying represent the challenges and negative experiences that life can throw our way.
Optimism:
The saying encourages a positive and optimistic mindset, urging us to find the good even in difficult situations.
Resourcefulness:
Making lemonade requires adding ingredients like sugar and water to the sour lemons, which can be seen as finding ways to improve or overcome the negative situation.
Positive Outcome:
The goal is to transform the lemons (the negative situation) into something positive (lemonade) that is enjoyable or beneficial.
Essentially, the saying reminds us that we have the power to influence how we react to difficult circumstances and that even in the face of adversity, there is always an opportunity to make something good out of it.
