And in many things, perception can be just as important (if not more so) than reality. An alternate take on this, for those that subscribe to the philosophy of subjective reality, perception is reality, and I am actually just an extension of your mind writing this . . .

But the answer is generally the same. Steve Pavlina’s explanation is about as good as you can find anywhere. (Read his article, “Subjective Reality Simplified,” for more of a detailed analysis.) Here is his bare-bones definition: Subjective reality is a belief system — a perspective. It is no more real or unreal than objective reality, which is also nothing but a perspective. How do you prove a perspective? That question doesn’t make much sense, since your particular perception of reality depends on your perspective.

Remove your worries — if you can’t do anything about [whatever it is] today, then stop thinking about it. Plan your action and write it down for later if you must, but for now the most appropriate action to the situation is to stop thinking about it. Fretting about something you can’t change is insane. If you see your world as one without ordered intelligence, your mind will adapt to this perceived environment and will function accordingly. Scottish psychiatrist R. D. Laing thought of psychosis as a rational adaptation to an insane world. If you want to be of a sane mind that functions according to an accurate model of reality, view your world as having an underlying order, inherent consistency and interrelatedness that becomes more clear as you step back from the trees and perceive the forest.
