I just read this from an article on Linkden. No name give. It is abbout The Matrix but makes sense to me.

We are so good looking at things from a 'can't do' attitude, creating infinite scenarios that escalate into even worse things in our minds. Stop. Yes, I'm telling you to stop thinking that way right now. I know it might sound easy, and you might think that saying that won't solve your problems in real life... Your mind can be your best ally, or your worst foe. Reprogram yourself to believe that whatever is going on right now impacting you negatively is a temporary stage that you will be able to overcome. Overthinking problems to which you have no current solutions only lead to desperation, stress (reflected all over you both physically and emotionally), and the impact of your relationships. Note that my message is not to ignore the issues, but to be conscious that there are things that you can control, and things that you can't (at least temporarily). If you focus your thoughts on what you can't control, you will be consumed by them, but... If you focus your energy on the things that you can take action on, you will see that what looks like a gigantic monster can be broken down into tasks and actions, and you will start making progress. It's not about the issue, but how you handle the issue. It's not about what you know, but what you actually do.
