So often the stress is due to being too zoomed in on something that is out of control and assigned too much importance.
Look at larger span of time. Well past a day, a week or even a year.
Does being stressed create a habit of being stressed?
Look at 10 years. Is being stressed out right now help or hinder your 5-10 year plan?
How about 20 years? Is being perpetually stressed lead to health issues 20 years down the road? Or are you already dead due to being overly stressed?
Hence, zoom out. And with that viewpoint re-evaluate the importance. Do give it what you got (To regret). But don’t worry, while at it. Just do the best you can and leave the rest out of mind.
Ocean is a drop in the universe
Link to originalAsia and Europe: are just small corners in the vast universe.
The ocean: a drop of water.
Mount Everest : a small pile of dirt in the grand scheme of things.
The present: a split second in eternity.
Minuscule, transitory, insignificant. - Marcus-Aurelius
