It can be easy to get caught up in present problems and lose sight of the bigger picture. Taking a moment to get some perspective can help reduce stress and make problem-solving easier. These tools can help:
Ask yourself:
How much will this matter to you in one year?
What would a kind friend say to you about this?
Has anything happened in your life recently that might be affecting your feelings about this issue?
Imagine you are much older than you are now. What advice would your older self give you about this?
