When something goes wrong in my life I tend to go into denial, or at least, that's what it may look like. I would pretend everything is wonderful, I'm just great and I don't have a care in the world. And I'm good at acting like that, but inside I would constantly be dwelling and worrying about this thing, whatever it may be.
I have now come up with a solution on how to gain perspective and sort your problems into order of importance.
When you have a problem, or multiple problems, think about how you're going to look at it in 5 years time. Are you still going to think about it, are you going to laugh about it, are you going to regret something? If you have to you could write it down, this shows you which of your problems (if there's more than one) are more important, if they're important at all, and you should be able to decide which ones to face first, and so work your way through them in order of importance.
I will be trying to do this every time I start worrying about something. I think it would be a great way to ease your stress if you think about how small or stupid this problem might seem in a couple of years.
So don't worry, be happy, and keep smiling!
