This works. Just not thinking about your problems can genuinely give you less stress. But it’s a thin line. Because if you simply ignore your problems, they obviously won’t disappear. Stress also has a purpose. It gives you energy to fight, take action and fix the things that need fixing. The problem is that sometimes we think way too much about relatively small problems. We replay them in our heads, analyse every possible outcome and slowly make them much bigger than they actually are. And even worse: we worry about things we cannot influence anyway. My solution is pretty simple: Pick your battles. Fix the problems you can fix and should fix. Take action when action is needed. But forget about the problems you don’t have to fix, cannot fix or simply cannot influence. You don’t need to carry everything around in your head all day. Beautiful video. And absolutely true. Free your mind. Which problems are you giving too much attention to right now?
